What adjustment must be made when closing a casement window, if the lock mechanism will not close fully (too tight)?

Moving the locking arm in towards the window.
Moving the latch up.
Moving the latch down.
Moving the latch in.

The correct answer is: Moving the locking arm in towards the window.

When closing a casement window, if the lock mechanism will not close fully because it is too tight, the best adjustment is to move the locking arm in towards the window. Option B, moving the latch up, would not solve the problem as the latch is already in the fully closed position. Option C, moving the latch down, may make it even harder to close the window. Option D, moving the latch in, may also make it harder to close the window or may not be possible depending on the design of the window. So, option A is the best and only viable solution in this situation.
