Explicación

## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the architectural convention that is exemplified by the walls of Great Zimbabwe's Conical Tower. The options provided are Ceramic-tile roofing, Spolia taken from ancient Roman ruins, Flying buttresses, and Ashlar masonry.## Step 2The Great Zimbabwe's Conical Tower is known for its use of Ashlar masonry. Ashlar masonry refers to the use of finely dressed stone blocks in construction. This is a characteristic feature of Shona architecture, which is the architectural style of the Shona people, the builders of the Great Zimbabwe.## Step 3The other options, such as Ceramic-tile roofing, Spolia taken from ancient Roman ruins, and Flying buttresses, are not characteristic of Shona architecture. Ceramic-tile roofing is more associated with Islamic architecture, Spolia taken from ancient Roman ruins is a feature of Romanesque architecture, and Flying buttresses are a feature of Gothic architecture.
