This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
The Aztec game of pelota could still be played today exactly as it was originally, but one element of the game would have to be changed. What is that element?
1. The players would have to wear unpadded clothing.
2. Both men and women would have to be allowed to play.
3. The losing team would have to be allowed to go home after the game.
4. The court would have to be shaped like the letter E.
Answer:
The element that would need to be changed is:
3. The losing team would have to be allowed to go home after the game.
Explanation:
Even though this information has been disputed, it is widely believed that the losing coach or even the whole losing team of the Aztec ball game would be sacrificed. The game was a representation of the battle between day and night, the court mirroring the ball court of the heavens. If the game were to be played nowadays, killing the losing team would certainly be seen as an atrocious monstrosity, since human sacrifice is no longer accepted in modern societies.
