Explanation

Passage for Reading Comprehension: The most important features of the Indus Valley civilization are town planning and architecture. The cities of Indus Valley Civilization were very well planned. Each city was planned in a grid-like pattern, formed by straight roads running from North to South and East to West. This divided the city into blocks. The main streets were ten (10) meters wide, so two bullock carts could pass by each other. The houses were built of thick walls of baked bricks. The bricks were joined together with mud, gypsum, and lime mortar. The architecture of the Indus civilization was very advanced. There were well-designed dockyards, well-built granaries, large warehouses, well-aligned brick platforms, and impenetrable protective walls. The massive walls of Indus cities most likely protected them from floods and invaders.
