There shall be those who adore us, we shall make other [beings] who shall be obedient. Accept your destiny: your flesh shall be torn to pieces. So shall it be.

From the excerpt, I conclude that the Maya forefathers believed it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten. The key segment of this text is "Accept your destiny. Your flesh shall be torn to pieces." The forefathers mention they have changed their mind because animals were not able to adore or obey them.

Because animals cannot adore their creators, "there shall be those" who will be able to do all of this. These "others" are the humans, who will hunt and eat animals. Animals will then have to accept their destiny and "be changed," being sent to the ravines and the woods.  

I think that the most reasonable conclusion is answer D.

kondaur [170]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Herzberg's research identified several _________ factors that did not necessarily motivate employees if they were increased, but could cause employees to become dissatisfied if they were missing or inadequate.

A. inferior

B. hygiene

C. negative

D. retroactive

Answer:

The correct answer is letter B. hygiene.

Explanation:

There are several theories that concern motivation in the workplace. Herzberg's theory is known as the two-factor theory because of the two factors identified as the cause of either motivation or dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg, motivation is caused by motivators, which are more intrinsic, concerning the job itself (achievement, responsibility, recognition, growth, etc.). On the other hand, hygiene factors (salary, security, supervision, work conditions etc.) are more extrinsic to the workers. They do not motivate, but their absence causes workers to be dissatisfied.
