Question

Homes are built on raised platforms or stilts in areas _________.

• A. with hot climate
• B. where water accumulates in rainy seasons
• C. where droughts are common
• D. where people like steps in their homes

Answer 1

The correct option is B where water accumulates in rainy seasons

People build their homes according to the climatic conditions in their area. In places with heavy rainfall, people build homes with slanting roofs. If water accumulation in rainy seasons is a regular affair, homes are built on raised platforms or stilts. Thick mud walls are common in regions with hot climate.
