    What were the upper class houses made out of?

    • Stone and expensive brick

    • Wood

    • Cement

    • Inexpensive brick

    Correct Answer
    A. Stone and expensive brick
    Explanation
    Upper class houses were typically made out of stone and expensive brick. This choice reflects the fact that the upper class had more resources and could afford to use high-quality and durable materials in the construction of their homes. Stone and expensive brick were considered luxurious and often associated with wealth and prestige. These materials provided better insulation and durability compared to other options like wood or inexpensive brick, making them a preferred choice for upper-class housing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Inexpensive brick and cement
    Explanation
    Middle class houses were typically made out of inexpensive brick and cement. This choice would have been more affordable for the middle class compared to expensive brick or other materials like wood or straw. Brick and cement were durable and provided a solid structure for the houses, making them a practical choice for middle-class families looking for affordable yet sturdy housing options.

    What were the lower class housing roofs made out of?

    • Tar

    • Straw, sticks, and other plant

    • Straw and stick only

    • Dirt

    Correct Answer
    A. Straw, sticks, and other plant
    Explanation
    Lower class housing roofs were made out of straw, sticks, and other plant materials. This was a common practice in many societies where resources were limited and affordable materials were used for construction. Straw and sticks were readily available and could be easily woven or thatched together to create a durable and weather-resistant roof. Using other plant materials alongside straw and sticks would have provided additional insulation and structural support. This type of roofing was cost-effective and suited the needs of the lower class who could not afford more expensive roofing materials like tar or dirt.

    • For the poor

    • For the people who have rich houses and job

    Correct Answer
    A. For the poor
    Explanation
    Work houses were originally made for the poor. These institutions provided shelter and employment for those who were unable to support themselves financially. The poor, including the unemployed, elderly, and disabled, could live and work in these workhouses in exchange for food and accommodation. The aim was to provide a means for the destitute to sustain themselves and avoid begging or becoming a burden on society.

    • F-shaped

    • L-shaped

    • E-shaped

    • B-shaped

    Correct Answer
    A. E-shaped
    Explanation
    The Tudor townhouses were shaped like the letter E. This means that the buildings had a main section with two wings extending outwards, resembling the shape of the letter E. This design allowed for more space and rooms within the townhouses, as well as creating a distinct architectural style commonly seen during the Tudor period.
