Answer 1

The correct features used in Roman buildings are:

• They have domes on circular rooms.
• They have columns, pediments, and friezes used in Greek buildings.
• They have rounded arches, barrel vaults, and cross-barrel vaults.

The use of steel rods is not characteristic of Roman architecture, as they primarily utilized materials like stone, concrete, and bricks, well before the widespread use of steel in construction.
