To alter the appearance of a building, room, or series of rooms is called ______?

• A. Renovate
• B. Restore
• C. Remodel
• D. Rebuild

Answer: (C)

Changing how a building looks involves altering its appearance and sometimes its layout. That’s what remodeling captures: modifying the interior or exterior features, finishes, and arrangement to create a new look or feel. It goes beyond simply repairing or updating; it involves changing the form and appearance of spaces.

Renovation, while related, is more about bringing a structure up to current standards or refreshing it, which may not always change the look as dramatically. Restore means returning something to its original condition, preserving or recreating historical features rather than creating a new appearance. Rebuild means constructing a new structure after demolition or destruction, not merely changing existing space.
