1 green: Property one is described as being "leafy". The term "leafy" refers to an area that is filled with lots of trees, plants, leaves and greenery. A "green area" describes the same type of area, one with bushes, trees, grass etc. In this context "green" and "leafy" are synonymous.
1 run-down: The term "run-down" means to be in poor condition, or deteriorated. This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 spacious: The word "spacious" indicates having a lot of "room" or "space". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 safe: The term "safe" means "unthreatening" or "not dangerous". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
2 all over: Jacob Flatman writes that Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue "throughout". The term "throughout" means "all over" or everywhere.
2 outside : The term "outside" means on or to the external or outer side. This is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 underneath: The term "underneath" means on the underside, lower face or below. This term is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 in certain parts : The phrase "in certain parts" refers to selected areas or portions, whereas the term "throughout" refers to "all" or the entirety of a surface (in this case).
3 a lot of: Flatman writes that the third property has "plenty" of storage space. The term "plenty" refers to an "abundance" or "large amount" of something. The term is synonymous with "a lot".
3 shared: The term "plenty" doesn't refer to a "shared" storage space, which would indicate a storage space used by two or more people.
3 hardly any: The phrase "hardly any" means "not very much", which is not synonymous with "plenty".
3 limited: An apartment with "limited storage space" has little storage space. This isn't what is meant by "plenty" of storage space.
