Answer:
B. Moctezuma demanded tributes and victimized his people.
Explanation:
From the passage, we discover that his people resented to his demands for tribute and victims of the religious sacrifices. Such resentment from his people weakened his conquest.
When any people are against their rulers, it is difficult for such ruler to enjoy freedom and exercise his authority. I believe this played out when the people began resenting Moctezuma.
He demanded tributes and victimized the people but that worked against him and made him a prisoner in his own palace.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence: The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. The document then goes on to list a series of charges that denounce British rule of the American colonies. In the context of the Declaration of Independence, what does the author mean by “candid world”? What effect does this word choice have on the rhetoric as well as the intended audience of the text?
Answer and Explanation:
In the context of the declaration of independence, the author uses the text "candid world" to refer to the target audience and obtain the approval and support of that audience. This is because the word "candid" represents something pure and has not been corrupted. When the author uses this word to refer to the audience, he is stating that this audience is honest, impartial and correct. In this way, he wants to awaken the public's feelings and logic, which will support the idea that the government should not be biased, but honest and integral.
