Hello, everybody
The college decided to _______ the old library – most of the furniture was falling apart.
A. renew B. refurbish C. regenerate D. recondition
My option is “D. recondition” because I think that the furniture was falling apart, we need to “recondition” it.
The key is “B. refurbish”. Is this because “the old library needs refurbishing? – which means need decorating?
Thanks in advance.
