Answer:

The correct answer is D, <em>Cathedrals needed to accommodate the growing practice of pilgrimage to visit holy relics</em>.

Explanation:

During the 11th and 12th centuries there was an increase in the number of pilgrimage voyages in medieval Europe. Many people traveled long roads to visit cathedrals that were believed to possess holy relics, that is objects that had belonged to saints or that were saints' bodies' parts.

When they visited these places they had to be large in order to fit pilgrims and the daily services. Pilgrims would walk around the place stopping to pray in different altars and shrines to different relics or tombs.

Which does not describe the ancient town of Jericho?
dusya [7]

The city of Jericho is a historic city, also mentioned in the Bible, when the Jews, after 40 years of journey through the desert, after leaving Egypt, finally reached the promised land. The city was in the "Canaan" land, according to the Bible, which the Jews led by Joshua, who was  leader after Moses, had to conquer. According to historical data, Jericho was located in the valley of the Jordan River, a small village inhabited by a few thousand people, with a stone wall around. There is no evidence of the existence of a ziggurat in the village, which is a stone pyramid, a type of building that dates back to the Sumerian civilization, and which is more characteristic of the Mesopotamian region than Palestine.

I would say that the right answer is C.
