Which prehistoric monument in England is a circular arrangement of standing stones?

• A. Stone Henge
• B. Giant Spheres of Costa Rica
• C. Hanging Gardens of Babylon
• D. Nazca Geoglyphs

Answer: (A)

Circles of standing stones point to Stonehenge in England. It features vertical stones set in a circular arrangement, with horizontal lintels joining some of them to form a ring. Built in stages over many centuries beginning around 3000–2000 BCE, the visible circle of stones is the defining feature. The other options don’t match this hallmark: they aren’t located in England, and they aren’t a circle of standing stones—some are large round spheres in Costa Rica, a mythical garden, or enormous ground drawings in Peru. Stonehenge best fits the description.
