Answer:
A linear settlement is a type of settlement where people settle and build homes formed in a straight line along a road, a river, a valley etc. Most linear settlements located in Canada or other developed countries in the world are along roads (aka. the most used transport route). People in linear settlements find it easier and faster to get to certain locations because of how close the distance between their house and the road is.
Explanation:
The Disadvantages of a Linear Settlement
The disadvantages of a linear settlement include ...
Not much open space (houses are in a straight line meaning there is less space in between each house---smaller backyard or lawns etc.)
Linked houses (if you are not comfortable with your house linked to another then the house won't be comfortable for you)
Some houses that are a part of a linear settlement don't have big garages or they aren't really good because they are cramped up
All the examples are of linear settlements because of the common fact that all houses are lined up in a straight line rather than being clustered or scattered like they are in other parts of Canada.

Examples of Linear Settlements:
An example would be Lancaster Dr. because houses there are all lined up in a straight or a little curved line for easy access to roads.
Morning Star Drive is also a linear settlement located in front of our school.
