The development of permanent settlements significantly changed the types of buildings that were needed in several ways. Among the options you've provided, the most accurate statement is:
**Settlements required buildings that could hold larger amounts of people for meetings and other gatherings.**
As communities became more permanent, there was a need for communal spaces such as meeting halls, places of worship, and event venues that could accommodate larger groups of people. This shift was essential for social, political, and religious organization within more densely populated areas. Such structures facilitated community interaction, governance, and social cohesion, which were critical as populations grew and societies became more complex.
The other options either misrepresent the nature of permanent settlements or relate to different contexts (like nomadic lifestyles). For example, settlements did not typically require buildings that could be taken apart quickly, as they were permanent. Further, while spacious designs were important, the emphasis was often on functional communal structures rather than just wide open spaces for religious or government buildings.
