The distinction between the site and the situation of a settlement is that situation concerns

  • A.the age of the buildings it contains
  • B.its position relative to the wider region
  • C.the ground on which it is actually built
  • D.the number of people living within it

Answer: B

Correct answer: its position relative to the wider region

Site is the ground the settlement stands on - a river terrace, a hilltop, a spring line - and explains why it began there. Situation is its position in relation to the region: at a crossing, at the head of a valley, on a route between two centres, and it explains why it grew or did not.
