Question

Which is an example of how cooperation within the empire enabled the Inca to better control resources? (1 point) a) Inca villagers distributed goods during monthly village festivals. b) Engineers designed quipu to efficiently stockpile necessities. c) All Inca people worked and shared supplies from storehouses when needed. d) Conquering armies gathered resources to send back to Cuzco.

Answer 1

c) All Inca people worked and shared supplies from storehouses when needed. I would say this is the correct answer. For example, all Inca men had to participate in the mit'a or compulsory labour to build roads, bridges etc but were also given enough time to work on the fields of the sick, or aged, their own fields and those of the Inca ruler so they helped fill the storehouses with this communal labour.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: c.All Inca people worked and shared supplies from storehouses when needed

Inca people already known the concept of the division of labour, and all people of inca have organized their citizens with each role depending on their talent/capabilities. They would store their production in the storehouse in preparation in case they have to face a resource shortage season.
