Answer:
They helped the Spanish conquer and destroy the Aztec Empire.
Explanation:
non-Aztec peoples like the tlaxcaltecas were of crucial help for the Spanish Conquistadors during the conquest of the Aztec Empire. They were eager to offer their help to the Spanish simply because they had very poor relations with the Aztecs.
They were either fully under Aztec control, subjected to brutal taxation and treatment (people from other tribes were often taken to Aztec cities for human sacrifice), or they were only partially under Aztec control, but unable to obtain a better political position.
With the Spanish arrival, they saw an opportunity to forge an alliance and defeat the common enemy. However, the Spanish would eventually become the only new rulers, subjugating all non-Aztec peoples later on.

They indicate an otherworldly atmosphere around the narrator.
Explanation:
Mark Twain's "A Ghost Story" is a ghost story about how the narrator experienced during his stay at a hotel. The story seems to be based on the Cardiff Giant, a monster carved out of stone and buried in the ground, only to emerge oftentimes to 'scare' people.
The narrator reveals how he heard <em>"muttered sentences; half-uttered screams that seemed smothered violently;"</em> during his first night at the <em>"old building".</em> This tone, with the discovery of the <em>"[footprint] so vast that in comparison [his] was but an infant's"</em> presents an otherworldly atmosphere, a sense of horror and suspense. By using these words to describe the sounds he heard along the hallway while listening intently, the narrator presents us with a scene that is scary and even intriguing.

The incorrect subject-verb agreement is highlighted below:
Jenna's favorite hiking trail wind from the base of Mt Diablo up to the summit which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
Explanation:
The verb that refers to a certain subject must agree with that subject. In other words, the verb must be properly conjugated according to the kind of subject we have. In this case, the main word of the subject is "trail", which is a third-person singular subject. However, the verb following it is "wind", which is not in its third-person singular form. To correct it, we must add -s to the ending of the verb:
Jenna's favorite hiking trail winds from the base of Mt Diablo up to the summit which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
