  1. Question 1

    Q1. Read the passage: "The ancient city of Mohenjo-daro displayed remarkable urban planning, with grid-patterned streets and sophisticated drainage systems. Archaeologists believe its engineers possessed advanced knowledge of hydraulics." What can be INFERRED from this passage?

    • A) Mohenjo-daro was destroyed by a flood
    • B) The inhabitants of Mohenjo-daro had a high level of technical expertise
    • C) Grid-patterned streets were common in all ancient cities
    • D) Archaeologists have fully understood the city's water system

    Answer: The inhabitants of Mohenjo-daro had a high level of technical expertise

    Explanation: The passage does not explicitly state that the inhabitants were technically expert, but the evidence — advanced drainage and hydraulic knowledge — logically supports this inference. Inference requires reading beyond what is directly stated.
