Could you explain the logic of the answers? I don't understand.
Thank you

For i) it can be either edifice or apartment, since "stately home" can't be a architecture. It can be of particular architecture, but not architecture itself.
ii) can't be confined, since it is followed by "likely to look out" and cant be mown, since well-tended grounds means the same, so it's expansive
ii) breathtaking beauty can be tricky, since it can be subjective. But most appropriate is hills compared to fields or vistas.
