It was divided into two sections, one smaller but higher and the other one much lower and small.
None of the above.
Correct Answer:
It was divided into two sections, one smaller but higher and the other much larger but much lower.
Explanation:
Mohanjodaro settlement is divided into two sections, one smaller but higher and the other much larger but lower. Archaeologists designate these as the Citadel and the Lower Town respectively. The Citadel owes its height to the fact that buildings were constructed on mud brick platforms. It was walled, which meant that it was physically separated from the Lower Town. The Lower Town was also walled.
