Based on the passage, choose the picture of the layout that the person should rent.
Version 1
Passage
I’m looking for a new place to live. I finally have someone who will share the rent with me, so we need to find a place with two bedrooms. Ideally, each of us will have our own bathroom, too. Also, my roommate is very loud at night, so the bedrooms should not be too close to each other. We do not plan to eat at home very often, so we do not need a big kitchen. We do watch a lot of movies, so a big living room with lots of room for friends to sit is very important.

Version 2
Passage
Since I don’t have to live in the dorm anymore, I am very excited to live in my own place. No more roommates! I love hanging out with my friends, so my new place should have plenty of room for entertaining guests, as well as a very big kitchen. I only need one bedroom and one bathroom because it will be only me. I would also like an office area to do some work.
