Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
(A) Terracotta Model Plough — this matches (IV) Banawali. Terracotta models of the plough have been found at sites in Cholistan and at Banawali (Haryana).
(B) Water Reservoirs — this matches (III) Dholavira. Water reservoirs found in Dholavira (Gujarat) may have been used to store water for agriculture.
(C) Great Bath — this matches (II) Mohenjodaro. The Great Bath, a large rectangular tank in a courtyard, stood on the Citadel of Mohenjodaro.
(D) Ploughed Field — this matches (I) Kalibangan. Evidence of a ploughed field, with two sets of furrows at right angles to each other, has been found at Kalibangan (Rajasthan).
NCERT (2026-27): “2.1 Agricultural technologies … Moreover, terracotta models of the plough have been found at sites in Cholistan and at Banawali (Haryana). Archaeologists have also found evidence of a ploughed field at Kalibangan (Rajasthan), associated with Early Harappan levels (see p. 20). The field had two sets of furrows at right angles to each other, suggesting that two different crops were grown together.… 2.1 Agricultural technologies … Besides, water reservoirs found in Dholavira (Gujarat) may have been used to store water for agriculture.… …Perhaps the most unique feature of the Harappan civilisation was the development of urban centres. Let us look at one such centre, Mohenjodaro, more closely. Although Mohenjodaro is the most well-known site, the first site to be discovered was Harappa.… 3.3 The Citadel … It is on the Citadel that we find evidence of structures that were probably used for special public purposes. These include the warehouse – a massive structure of which the lower brick portions remain, while the upper portions, probably of wood, decayed long ago – and the Great Bath. The Great Bath was a large rectangular tank in a courtyard surrounded by a corridor on all four sides. There were two flights of steps on the north and south leading into the tank, which was made watertight by setting bricks on edge and using a mortar of gypsum. There were rooms on three sides, in one of which was a large well. Water from the tank flowed into a huge drain.…” |
