Answer

Brief Explanations:

For question 2, without the passage, we can't be sure, but we need to identify the main - topic described by the author. For question 3, we need to find evidence in the text that supports the idea of cliff - dwelling as a defensive measure. If cliff dwellings are accessible only by rope ladder, it makes them difficult to access for attackers, which is a defensive feature. For question 2, no passage is given to determine the answer accurately. For question 3, the fact that many cliff dwellings are accessible only by rope ladder can serve as evidence for defensive purposes.

Answer:

  1. No answer can be determined without the passage
  2. a. Many of the cliff dwellings are accessible only by rope ladder
