Question 1
Sort the eight pictures into natural and man-made wonders.
View Answer
Answer on the same picture
Classification note:
The answer follows the four-and-four grouping implied by the textbook image:
Natural — 1, 3, 7, 8; Man-made — 2, 4, 5, 6.
Image 1 is the living root bridge. Later in the chapter NCERT describes it as an indigenous engineering feat made from living roots, so it is best understood as a nature–human hybrid even though this pre-reading activity groups it with natural wonders.
