1 floor: "Floor" is the correct answer. This term is used to describe the different "stories" or "levels" of a building. Note that in the US, the "first floor" is the one situated at ground level. In the UK, the "first floor" is the next level up (one level higher than the "ground floor"). Example: "There are ninety-two floors in this building. The architect was a short man". The term "floor" also refers to the ground.
2 handle: "Handle" is the right answer here. A "door handle" is the part of the door used for opening and closing it. We hold it in our hands and turn. Unfortunately, Edward could not do this correctly. "Handle" can describe any part of a larger item designed to be held or moved by the user's hands. Example: "The handle has broken off my suitcase!".

1 remarkable: This is the correct answer. As an adjective, "striking" shares a similar meaning with "noteworthy" or "remarkable". Example: Could you give me some sunglasses, that pink shirt you are wearing is very striking. Someone who has "striking looks" is considered to be beautiful or handsome.
1 expensive: This is incorrect. "Striking" does not share the same meaning as expensive. Lindsay thinks that the building has a noticeable design, she does not mention how much it costs.
1 large: This is incorrect. "Striking" does not share the same meaning as large. Lindsay thinks that the building has a noticeable design, not an large one.
1 original: This is incorrect. "Striking" does not share the same meaning as original. Lindsay thinks that the building has a notable design, but not necessarily an original one.
2 floors: This is the correct answer. A "story (of a building)", or "storey" in British English, is synonymous with "floor" or "level". Lindsay says that the building has three floors. Other example: My flat is situated on the top storey, I can see the whole city.
2 wings: This is incorrect. In architecture, the "wing (of a building)" is the portion of the building situated to the side of the main section. Example: The president's offices are situated on the west wing of the White House.
2 rooms: This is incorrect. A "storey" is not synonymous with a "room". A "room", located within a building or home, is an area with walls, a ceiling and a floor.
2 sections: This is incorrect. The "sections" of a building are the different parts of it, the term is not synonymous with "storey".
3 regular: This is the correct answer. "Steady" is an adjective to describe something regular, reliable or continuous. For example: There's been a steady increase in sales this year, with no fluctuations at all. A "steady pace" is a speed which is consistent and regular.
3 accelerated: This is incorrect. "Steady" does not share a similar meaning with "accelerated".
3 slow: This is incorrect. "Steady" does not share a similar meaning with "slow". To do something "in slow motion" is to do it at a very reduced speed.
3 surprising: This is incorrect. "Steady" does not share a similar meaning with "surprising". A "surprising (story)" is one which is "remarkable" or "unexpected". Example: I find it very surprising that this sofa is so cheap, it looks very expensive.
