The another name for the capital was "Federal City".

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Congress met in a number of different locations before Washington, D.C., became America’s capital in 1800. Soon after many debates Congress passed the Residence Act in July 1790, which proclaimed that the capital would be built somewhere along the Potomac River and gave President George Washington the authority to choose the final site.

The president was given the right to appoint three commissioners to oversee the federal city’s development. Finally the commissioners named the federal city in memory of Washington in September 1791 and called the area where it was located the Columbia Territory.

Brut [27]

Answer:

They use 20- day months, and had two calendar years. the 260-day Sacred Round or tzolkin, and the 365-day Vague Year, or Haab. These two calendars coincided every 52 years. The 52-year period of time was called a "bundle" and meant the same to the Maya as our century does to us.
