Discussion
Consider the following statements A and B :
Statement A : In Manali, houses are constructed with wood, slanting roofs and elevated on strong bamboo pillars.
Statement B : Manali receives a lot of rain and snowfall.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: A
The answer is A is incorrect, but B is correct.
Manali, in the Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh, does receive heavy rain and snowfall in winter, so statement B is correct. That is why houses there have sloping roofs, so that rain and snow slide off.
Statement A is incorrect because of its last part: traditional houses in Manali are built of wood and stone on stone foundations, not raised on bamboo pillars. Houses on bamboo stilts are typical of flood-prone and very wet regions such as Assam and other parts of the North-East.
