Japan is a nation built completely on the tips of giant, sub oceanic volcanoes. Little of the land
is flat and suitable for agriculture. Terraced hillsides make use of every available square foot of
arable land. Small homes built very close together further conserve the land. Japan also suffers
from natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Conventionally homes are made of
light construction materials, so a house falling down during a disaster will not crush its
occupants and also can be quickly arid inexpensively rebuilt. During the feudal period until the
Meiji restoration of 1868, each feudal lord sought to restrain his subjects from moving from one
village to the next for fear that a neighbouring lord might amass enough peasants with which to
produce a large agricultural surplus, hire an army and pose a threat. Apparently bridges were
not commonly built across rivers and streams until the late nineteenth century since bridges
increased mobility between villages.
19. Rough terrain makes the land uncultivable,...................
a) as the lava from the volcanoes has covered the topsoil for thousands of years
b) which keeps the Japanese scarcely over the poverty line
c) yet colossal buildings of light materials remote to one another provide more arable land
