Answer 1

The correct answers are A) to portray the legacies of people of the past. B) to provide functional comforts and shelter.

Historically, some of the functions of architecture and construction have been to portray the legacies of people of the past and to provide functional comforts and shelter.

Architecture has been one of the most important legacies of past civilizations. Through the study of ancient architecture, historians, archeologists, and other scholars can study and analyze the way ancestors lived, their customs, the public use of buildings, the religious use of buildings, and how was the family environment of the past.

That is why is so important that governments preserve and take care of archeological sites, and old buildings from the past, no matter the time. Every single epoch has constructions that can illustrate modern-day society.
