Read the following excerpt from the sacred Maya book Popol Vuh. Note that in the excerpt, the Maya forefathers are talking to th

e animals they just created.
Then they [the Maya forefathers] said to them [the animals]: “Because it has not been possible for you to talk, you shall be changed. We have changed our minds: Your food, your pasture, your homes, and your nests you shall have; they shall be the ravines and the woods, because it has not been possible for you to adore us or invoke us. 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. This shall be your lot.” So they said, when they made known their will to the large and small animals which are on the face of the earth.

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.

According to Gerhard Lenski, the growth of the middle class reduces the polarization between the owning and the working class.

In Gerhard Lenski's theory of inequality, he explained that in the society, some people are going to have a surplus of goods in the society. While other people would not be so lucky to have the same.

According to him, social inequality would arise due to the fact that some people are going to have more bargaining power than other people that are in the society.

<h3>What is naturalistic observation..??</h3>

Naturalistic observation is a research method that involves observing subjects in their natural environment. The goal is to look at behavior in a natural setting without intervention, it is a qualitative research method where you record the behaviors of your research subjects in real world settings.

'Naturalistic research is important for getting research results that aren't impacted by the researchers themselves. Even a well designed study can have problems with subjects being aware of observation, or being in an unnatural environment, which could skew results."
