Dru is reading about castles for a class project.

A stone built of light-colored stone with several windows and turrets.

Medieval castles were built for safety, not comfort. The walls were thick to protect the residents from invaders. Windows were made tall and thin so that soldiers could shoot arrows through the openings. Towers were a common place to watch for approaching enemies.

After looking at the photograph and reading the text, which new idea can Dru form about this castle?

The tall tower was probably used by soldiers to watch for enemies.
The high-pitched roof must have made it easier to protect the castle.
This castle was probably very fancy and expensive inside for the residents.
The windows in this castle were likely to be targets for attackers.

Based on the information provided, the most logical new idea Dru can form about this castle is:

The tall tower was probably used by soldiers to watch for enemies.

This conclusion aligns with the description of towers being common places for watching for approaching enemies in the text. The other options either make assumptions that are not supported by the text or contradict the focus on safety rather than comfort.
