The king constructed the Taj Mahal because:

• he wanted to build a monument of love for his wife

• he wanted to store treasures

The phrase ‘the crown of the palace’ implies:

• the highest or most important part of the palace

• the garden of the palace

• the foundation of the palace

The impression I got after reading the description was:

• It was interesting and informative.

• It was confusing and unclear.

• It was boring and repetitive.

• It was too short and lacking details.

The materials and architectural design of the Taj Mahal are:

The Taj Mahal is included as one of the Seven Wonders of the world. What do you think about this inclusion?
