Explanation:

Analyze the first sentence

The sentence describes a space using post-and-lintel construction with a "forest of columns." In architectural history, a large hall where the roof is supported by columns is known as a hypostyle hall. This matches term 4.

Analyze the second sentence

The sentence asks for the "topmost stone in an archway." The central, wedge-shaped stone at the very top of an arch that locks all the other stones in place is called the keystone. This matches term 6.

Analyze the third sentence

The sentence describes a technique used by Indian architects to create a dome where "a course of stones extends slightly beyond the one below." This overlapping technique of layering stone or brick to span a space is called corbelling. This matches term 2.

Analyze the fourth sentence

The sentence refers to "the amount of stretching stress a material can withstand before it bends or breaks." In structural engineering and materials science, the resistance of a material to breaking under tension (stretching) is called tensile strength. This matches term 3.

Analyze the fifth sentence

The sentence describes a system used by Chinese and Japanese architects "to distribute the heavy weight of a roof onto slender wooden columns." This interlocking wooden bracket system is known as bracket sets (or dougong). This matches term 5.

Analyze the sixth sentence

The sentence states that "The Great Friday Mosque in Mali is made of _____, or sun-dried brick." The Great Mosque of Djenné in Mali is a famous example of Sudano-Sahelian mud architecture, constructed using sun-dried mud bricks known as adobe. This matches term 1.
