Давайте сопоставим заголовки с параграфами текста о Осборн-Хаусе.

1. C. A holiday home
   В первом параграфе говорится о том, что Осборн-Хаус расположен на острове Уайт и был домом для отдыха королевы Виктории и ее семьи. Это соответствует заголовку о праздничном доме.

2. E. House and gardens
   Во втором параграфе описывается, как Осборн-Хаус сохранился почти в том же виде, в каком его оставила королева, и упоминаются сад и швейцарская хижина, предназначенная для детей. Это соответствует заголовку о доме и садах.

3. A. A room for official and family occasions
   Третий параграф описывает Дурбар-рум, где королева принимала высокопоставленных гостей и где ее дети выступали с пьесами. Это соответствует заголовку о комнате для официальных и семейных мероприятий.

4. D. A private place
   В четвертом параграфе говорится о том, что королева Виктория видела Осборн-Хаус как свое убежище от формальной атмосферы Букингемского дворца. Это соответствует заголовку о частном месте.

To match the headings (A-E) to the paragraphs (1-4) in the text about Osborne House, we need to carefully analyze the content of each paragraph and choose the most appropriate heading based on its central theme. Let’s go through each paragraph step by step and explain how the correct headings fit.

1. Paragraph 1:
"Osborne House is located on the Isle of Wight, overlooking the sea. A beautiful Italian-style stately home, it was the holiday home of Queen Victoria and her family."

This paragraph introduces Osborne House and describes its purpose as a holiday retreat for Queen Victoria and her family. The focus is clearly on its function as a vacation residence, making the correct heading:
C. A holiday home

2. Paragraph 2:
"Osborne House has been kept almost exactly as it was when Queen Victoria lived and died there. The rooms are full of the Queen’s personal possessions, including pictures and books. Visitors can also see how the Royal Family spent their leisure time. In the grounds there is a Swiss cottage designed as a playhouse for the royal children, as well as beautiful gardens open to the public."

This paragraph emphasizes the preservation of the house as it was during Queen Victoria’s time and mentions two main attractions: the Swiss cottage for children and the gardens. The mention of the playhouse links to the royal children, while the gardens are a separate feature. However, the focus on the Swiss cottage for children makes the most fitting heading:
B. A special room for children

3. Paragraph 3:
"One of the jewels of Osborne House is the Durbar Room. The beautifully decorated walls and ceiling were made by Indian craftsmen. This room was where Victoria entertained heads of state, but it was also where her children used to perform plays for their parents."

This paragraph is all about the Durbar Room, describing its dual purpose as a place for both formal entertainment (hosting heads of state) and family activities (children’s plays). The heading that best describes this paragraph is:
A. A room for official and family occasions

4. Paragraph 4:
"Queen Victoria saw Osborne House as her home, and its privacy was an escape from the formal atmosphere of Buckingham Palace. Today it stands as a memorial to Britain’s much-loved and longest reigning queen."

This paragraph highlights how Osborne House was Queen Victoria’s private retreat, offering her a personal escape from the public and formal world of Buckingham Palace. The best heading for this paragraph is:
D. A private place

Final Answer:

1. C. A holiday home
2. B. A special room for children
3. A. A room for official and family occasions
4. D. A private place

The extra heading E. House and gardens does not fit any of the paragraphs because, although gardens are mentioned briefly in Paragraph 2, they are not the main focus of any single section of the text.
