Question:
Which of the following is NOT true about Mohenjodaro Site?
Options:
It was divided into two sections, one smaller but higher and the other much larger but much lower.
Archaeologists designate these as the Citadel and the Lower Town respectively.
The Citadel was walled, which meant that it was physically separated from the Lower Town.

Correct Answer:
The Lower Town was not walled.
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.
