1Archaeologists commonly refer to the Bronze Age urban culture of the Indus system as the Harappan Civilization because:
A.Harappa was the first major site excavated and published in modern archaeology
B.All sites lie exclusively inside modern Rajasthan
C.The script has been fully translated as Sanskrit
D.It was founded by the Gupta emperors
Explanation: Harappa in present-day Pakistan was among the earliest excavated Indus urban centres, so the culture is often named after that type-site even though many other cities existed.
2The Mature Harappan urban phase is generally placed in school chronologies around:
A.c. 320–185 BCE
B.c. 1526–1707 CE
C.c. 2600–1900 BCE
D.c. 600–300 BCE
Explanation: Standard Class 12 frameworks date the Mature Harappan urban phase roughly c. 2600–1900 BCE, after Early Harappan villages and before later post-urban cultures.
3Which feature is most characteristic of planned Harappan cities such as Mohenjo-daro?
A.Iron blast furnaces lining every road
B.Grid-like streets with covered drains and brick houses
C.Only temporary reed shelters without streets
D.Pyramid tombs for every household
Explanation: Mature Harappan cities are famous for baked-brick houses, roughly orthogonal street layouts, and sophisticated drainage—evidence of organised urban planning.
4The Great Bath at Mohenjo-daro is best understood as:
A.A Roman amphitheatre for gladiatorial games
B.A medieval mosque courtyard
C.An open-pit coal mine
D.A carefully built public or ritual tank with steps and waterproofing
Explanation: The Great Bath is a large, carefully waterproofed tank with access steps, usually interpreted as a space for public or ritual bathing and advanced water control.
5Most classic Harappan seals were carved from which material?
A.Steatite (soapstone)
B.Pure gold sheets only
C.Porcelain exclusively
D.Paper parchment
Explanation: The majority of famous Indus seals were cut from steatite, often fired or coated, then engraved with animals and short script signs.
6Standardised cubical stone weights in Harappan sites mainly suggest:
A.That cities had no craft specialists
B.Shared systems of measurement useful for craft and exchange
C.That writing was fully phonetic Sanskrit
D.That iron coinage circulated in every street
Explanation: Carefully graded weights imply agreed measurement standards, which support organised craft production, administration, and long-distance exchange.
7Lothal, on the Gulf of Khambhat, is especially discussed for evidence of:
A.Ashokan rock edicts in Prakrit
B.Mughal miniature painting ateliers
C.British indigo factories of the 1850s
D.Maritime trade and a debated dock or basin structure
Explanation: Lothal’s coastal location, craft debris, and basin-like structure feature in debates about Harappan maritime contacts and dock facilities.
8Why do historians remain cautious about reconstructing a single Harappan ‘king’?
A.Greek ambassadors wrote full Harappan biographies
B.Coins bear dated regnal years of Harappan monarchs
C.The script is undeciphered and royal chronicles are unavailable
D.Every seal lists a pan-Indian emperor by name
Explanation: Without readable texts naming rulers, political organisation is inferred cautiously from material culture; a single monarchical model is not securely proven.
9Craft evidence such as bead-making debris at sites like Chanhudaro primarily indicates:
A.Specialised production for local use and exchange networks
B.That agriculture was entirely absent
C.That cities banned all trade
D.That iron swords were mass-produced for Mauryan armies
Explanation: Concentrations of unfinished beads, drills, and waste point to craft specialists embedded in wider exchange systems, a core theme of Harappan urban economy.
10Burial evidence from Harappan cemeteries is used by archaeologists mainly to study:
A.Exact regnal lists of emperors
B.Mughal court etiquette manuals
C.British land revenue settlements
D.Social difference, health, and ritual practice through grave goods and skeletal remains
Explanation: Graves, body treatment, and associated objects help reconstruct social variation, demography, diet, and ritual—without assuming full written biographies.
