1. The Hanging Gardens may have been destroyed or they could have been just a legend but they are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. B. False

2. The correct answers are: a, b and e.

a.Slaves powered the equipment used to move water to the top of The Hanging Gardens

b.Terraces were built so shade trees, exotic shrubs, and colorful flowers could be high up on the walls.

c.Is not correct because the Gardens were built to resemble the hometown of Nabuchadnezzar’s wife, Amiyitis.

d.Metal plates were not used to reflect light to make up for the shortage of sunlight in the area, because lead plates were rather used to help preserve the brick that otherwise would have been rotten by water. There was enough sunlight.  

e.Fountains, pools and waterfalls were used to cool the gardens.  

The Gardens of Babylon were amazing engineer constructions that King Nebuchadnezzar (605 BC) built for his homesick wife to resemble the gardens of her hometown. He used slaves to construct them. They consisted of terraces raised one above another resting upon hollow pillars filled with earth to allow trees of the largest size to flourish. The technology used to build the Gardens of Babylon included water irrigation system from Euphrates River which then had to be lifted far up so it could flow down through the terraces, watering each level of plants. This was a big engineering task because it had to include a chain pump with two large wheels, one above the other; on one chain buckets were hung and as the wheel was turned, the buckets dipped into the pool and picked up water. The chain then lifted them to the upper wheel, where the buckets were tipped.  

i would say your answer is a)
