Answer»

Right answer is (a) True

Easy explanation: Such a building may be called an apartment building, apartment complex, FLAT complex, block of flats, tower block, high-rise or, OCCASIONALLY, mansion block (in British English), ESPECIALLY if it consists of many apartments for rent. In Scotland, it is called a block of flats or, if it is a traditional sandstone building, a tenement, a term which has a pejorative connotation in the United States. Apartments may be owned by an owner/occupier, by leasehold tenure or RENTED by tenants (two types of housing tenure).
