    • Town 

    • Farmstead 

    • County 

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    A farmstead is not considered an urban settlement because it is typically a rural area where a farm or a group of farms is located. Unlike cities, towns, and counties, farmsteads are characterized by agricultural activities and are usually located in less populated areas. They may consist of farmhouses, barns, and other structures necessary for farming operations.

    Explanation
    In rural settlements, the most common occupation is farming. This is because rural areas are typically characterized by vast amounts of land and natural resources, making agriculture a viable and sustainable occupation. Farming provides a means of livelihood for rural communities, as it involves cultivating crops and raising livestock for food production and sale. Additionally, farming is deeply rooted in rural traditions and practices, passed down through generations, making it a prevalent occupation in rural settlements.

    Correct Answer
    A. Municipality 
    Explanation
    An urban settlement refers to a densely populated area with a high concentration of buildings and infrastructure. A municipality fits this description as it is a local administrative unit that typically governs an urban area. It has its own government and provides various services to its residents, such as water, electricity, waste management, and transportation. Therefore, a municipality is considered an urban settlement.

    • Hamlet 

    • Borough 

    • County 

    • Town 

    Correct Answer
    A. Hamlet 
    Explanation
    A hamlet is not a political location formed because of administration. Unlike boroughs, counties, and towns, hamlets do not have their own governing bodies or political jurisdiction. Hamlets are small settlements that are usually part of a larger administrative unit, such as a township or a village. They typically lack formal governance and are often considered to be unincorporated areas. Therefore, a hamlet does not fit the criteria of a political location formed because of administration.

    Which of these does not define human settlements?  - ProProfs

    Which of these does not define human settlements? 

    • Civil features 

    • Populated place 

    • Size

    • Census 

    Correct Answer
    A. Size
    Explanation
    Size does not define human settlements because human settlements can vary in size, ranging from small villages to large cities. The defining characteristic of a human settlement is the presence of civil features and a populated place, where people live and engage in various activities. Census is a method used to collect data and information about the population of a human settlement, but it is not a defining factor in determining what constitutes a human settlement.

    Which of these is a facility common to all forms of settlement?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is a facility common to all forms of settlement? 

    • Field systems 

    • Road enclosure 

    • Boundary banks 

    • Churches 

    Correct Answer
    A. Churches 
    Explanation
    Churches are a facility common to all forms of settlement because they serve as places of worship and community gathering. Regardless of the type of settlement, whether it is a village, town, or city, churches are typically present to cater to the religious needs of the residents. Churches also often play a significant role in the cultural and social life of a settlement, hosting events and providing a sense of community cohesion. Therefore, churches can be considered a common feature in settlements of all types.
