The following two quotes are accounts of indigenous leaders in the Americas. The first is about the Aztec emperor. The second is

about the Incan ruler. Use these excerpts to answer the question that follows:
"There were many...grandees around the monarch, some of whom held the canopy over his head, while others again occupied the road before him, and spread cotton cloths on the ground that his feet might not touch the bare earth. No one of his suite ever looked at him full in the face; everyone in his presence stood with eyes downcast."

"The court was filled with Indian nobles, dressed in gaily ornamented attire, in attendance on the monarch.... His dress was simpler than that of his attendants. But he wore on his head the crimson borla or fringe, which, surrounding the forehead, hung down as low as the eyebrow. This was the well-known badge of Peruvian sovereignty [royalty]."

Based on the two passages, how did the Inca emperor and the Aztec emperor compare? The Inca emperor was more powerful. The Inca emperor was more ordinary. The Inca emperor was more respected. The Inca emperor was more generous.

Answer:

The Inca emperor was more ordinary.

Explanation:

Comparing the two excerpts, the <u>Inca emperor appears to be more ordinary than the Aztec emperor</u>. This can be inferred from the passage that states that the Inca emperor was dressed in simpler ways than that of his attendants. According to the second passage about the Inca emperor, the only thing that remarked his royal majesty was the fringe he wore on his head, the badge of Peruvian sovereignty. On the other hand, and according to the first passage, the Aztec emperor was surrounded by "grandees" who held the canopy over his head or were occupied spreading cotton cloths on the ground so the emperor's feet would not touch the bare earth. Also, no one could look at his face. This is a clear signal that the Aztec emperor was in an extraordinary position of power, considered as a god among mortals, while the Inca emperor, at least in its ways, was closer to ordinary people.
