In other words, the accommodation was originally built as private house. Therefore, the correct answer must be C.
According to the advisor, the Thomas House doesn’t have a garage, as they don’t provide parking lot to students. Therefore, the correct answer must be option E.
Even though the advisor says that the Thomas House has a leisure room, she still directly tells the student that this house doesn’t have a computer room (of course leisure room and computer room are different things). She also goes on to explain that there is a balcony available. Therefore, option B is incorrect and option C is correct.

Advisor: Good morning, everyone. I’m your accommodation advisor.
Well, firstly welcome to Thomas House which is one of the most popular accommodations in our university. I will give you an introduction about the house and answer your questions. As you know, the building was constructed in the middle of the 18th century and was used by the family of Thomas. That’s of course how the house and university got his name. We repaired it and added some new and modern facilities last year..
