The ____________ is arched and the two flanking windows are rectangular.

The ____________ is arched and the two flanking windows are rectangular.

• A. Center window
• B. Tripartite window
• C. Terracotta tiles
• D. Bay window

Answer: (A)

The middle pane is the defining feature here: it is arched while the two side panes remain rectangular. That makes the central unit the center window, since the arch is the characteristic that sets it apart from the flanking rectangular windows. In architectural terms, the overall three-part arrangement is often called a tripartite window, but the description focuses on which part is arched, so naming the center window is the most precise. Terracotta tiles are unrelated to window shapes, and a bay window describes a projecting group of windows rather than a three-part arrangement with an arched center.
