Rivers, Settlements, and the First Civilizations

Question 7 • OCPS - 2109010 - M/J WORLD HISTORY_SEM 1 CR_PY - vers.2

How did the development of permanent settlements change the types of buildings that were needed?

Answer
A
Settlements encouraged families to live separately to dominate the resources in a crowded village.
B
Settlements required buildings that could hold larger amounts of people for meetings and other gatherings.
C
Settlements were designed with materials that could be taken apart quickly to follow herds in other locations.
D
Settlements were built with wide open spaces to provide ample room for religious and government buildings.

Explanation

Permanent settlements meant people stayed in one place instead of moving with herds. They needed shared buildings for community activities, such as meetings and gatherings, that could accommodate many people. Choice B describes this need; portable buildings for following herds, as in choice C, were less necessary.
