From the list below, select the sentences which use the term "feature" correctly.
There may be more than one correct answer!

Rescuing the orphans was quite a feature, Bruno!

Her features are perfect, but her ears are much too big.

I've been featured in the local press thanks to my charity work.

Our house still has many of the original Victorian features.

Rescuing the orphans was quite a feature, Bruno!

This is incorrect. Here, we could use the term "feat" to describe an extraordinary act or achievement. Example: "The kitten climbed to the top of the tree - it was an incredible feat!". This term does not share a similar meaning with "feature", and it does not make sense to use the term "feature" in this context.

Her features are perfect, but her ears are much too big.

This is correct. The term "features" is used to describe characteristics or traits. Here, it describes the eyes, nose, and mouth. Example: "Even as a baby, he had his mother's features".

I've been featured in the local press thanks to my charity work.

This is correct. The verb "to feature" means "highlight" or "include". This is the same usage as in the conversation, when Bruno says he has "the latest issue of the Sunday Roast, featuring your brilliant essay".

Our house still has many of the original Victorian features.

This is correct. The term "original features" is used to describe authentic characteristics such as fireplaces, windows, ceiling roses, wooden flooring etc. which are sometimes present in older homes. Example: "The estate agent told me there were lots of original features, but I think 1970s linoleum was the oldest thing in the apartment". The term is used to describe the "traits" or "characteristics" of an apartment or house.
