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.

Assume some guy named Spano and a woman named Bagley are stranded on an island. Two tasks must be done: fishing and building she
luda_lava [24]

In completion of your question:

Calculate how many fish they can catch and how many huts they can build on their own in one year

Answer:

Bagley can catch 180 fish and build 90 huts.

Spano can catch 120 fish and build 40 huts

Explanation:

If Bagley spends all her time just catching fish in one year she can catch 180 fish (1800 hrs/10 hrs per fish), on the other hand if she spends all her time making huts she can make 90 huts (1800hrs/ 20 hrs per hut) in one year. If Spano spends all his time just catching fish in one year he can catch 120 fish. On the other hand, if he spends all his time making huts in one year he can make 40 huts.

The answers were each gotten by dividing the total number of hrs worked(1800) by each person's rate(such as bagley's 10hr/fish).
