Question

1. this installation could be improved by:

options:

• repairing the damaged window screen
• removing the gravel from the windowsill and frame
• lowering the level of the fill in the window well
• better caulking around the window frame
• installing a storm window

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Repairing the window screen: The image doesn't show a damaged screen, so this is not relevant.
• Removing gravel from windowsill/frame: The gravel here doesn't seem to be the main issue affecting the installation.
• Lowering fill in window well: The fill level (gravel/leaves) in the window well being too high can cause water intrusion or damage. Lowering it would improve drainage and protect the window, making this a key improvement.
• Better caulking: The image doesn't indicate caulking issues as the primary problem.
• Installing storm window: Not indicated as necessary from the image.

Answer:

C. Lowering the level of the fill in the window well
