Question 9 • W Geography_A_IC

What is the most likely reason the Pueblo constructed most of their buildings out of adobe?

Answer
A
The architectural style of this type of building was appealing to Pueblo society.
B
The Pueblo typically lived in areas where adobe was more readily available over other building materials.
C
The Pueblo did not have the technology to construct more sophisticated types of buildings.
D
The Pueblo were nomadic, and this type of structure could be transported easily.

Explanation

Adobe is made from earth and other locally available materials, so it was practical for the Pueblo to build with it in the dry regions where they lived. Choice B, that adobe was more readily available than other building materials, is the best answer. The Pueblo were generally settled communities, so adobe buildings were not chosen because they could be transported easily.
