(2) Amsterdam is built on stilts.
(3) There are immense forests round the shores of the Baltic and tobogganing is a great trade.
(4) Cologne cathedral built in the Elizabethan style of architecture.
Here are some unclassified follies:
(1) A cyclone is an instrument for telling the distance of travelling.
(Note: The candidate must have been surprised to find a cyclometer in a Geography paper.)
