Answer 1

Explanation:

Between the eighth and the eighteenth centuries, kings and their officers built two kinds of structures:

The first were forts, palaces, garden residences and tombs safe, protected and gran-diose places of rest in this world and the next.

The second were structures meant for public activity including temples, mosques, tanks, wells, and bazaars. Kings were expected to care for their subjects, and by making structures for their use and comfort, rulers hoped to win their praise.

Construction activity was also carried out by others, including wealthy merchants and nobles.
