Answer 1

The answer is D. From the picture, the workers there were trying to build a tomb and that's what the mausoleum means.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 4. It gave us the modern term ‘Mausoleum’.  

Explanation:

The fact “Here is an artist's impression of one of the Seven Wonders” is about the workers trying to “build a tomb”.

The “tomb was built” for Mausolas by the sister wife, Artemesia II of Caria.
