Name a residential typology.

• A. Single-family house
• B. Library
• C. Courthouse
• D. Museum

Answer: (A)

Recognizing residential typologies means identifying buildings whose primary function is housing people. Among these options, the building that is a dwelling designed for a family to live in fits the residential category. A single-family house is a home intended for one family and serves as living space, private amenities, and everyday life activities, which defines it as residential.

The other options serve public or institutional roles rather than living spaces: a library is a place for books and community services, a courthouse is a government facility for legal proceedings, and a museum stores and displays objects for public education and culture. While these are architectural types, they are not housing, so they don’t represent residential typologies.
