Question 7 • 2025-2026_MDCPS_2109010-M/J World History Sem 1-CR

How did the building of granaries indicate that Harappan civilization was economically strong?

Answer
A
It showed that the richest Harappan citizens had excess food to trade or sell.
B
It showed that Harappa could store excess food to save, sell, or trade with others.
C
It showed that Harappa could tax farmers by taking their excess crops as payment.
D
It showed that the richest Harappan citizens were capable of planning for times of drought.

Explanation

Granaries are large storage buildings for harvested crops. Their construction indicates that Harappa could collect and store surplus food, which could be saved for later or used in trade. Choice B captures this ability; the granaries alone do not prove that only rich citizens controlled the food or that farmers were taxed.
