(ii) not clear from the height.

Ans: (i) From the height, it was clear that there are populated cities and valleys of the countries near the rivers. It was also clear that the earth was round and that it had more sea than land.

(ii) From the height, it was not clear why the men on the earth found reasons to hate each other. It was also not understandable why men had to build walls across cities and why they had to kill. When Nature has not  made any boundaries why man is trying to divide the beautiful world by walls.
