The supporters you're referring to were called patrons. Patrons were usually wealthy merchants or people who have made their fortune in other ways and wanted to either have a picture of themselves and their family, or generally had a desire to support painting, some even decided to order paintings for the church in order to get in good standing with the church officials.
The treaty of non-agretion between Germany and the Union of Soviet Sociacist Republics also called as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a neutrally pact between the Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed in August of 1939.
The clauses provided a written guarantee of non-beligerance by each party towards the other and a commitment of no alliance with an enemy of the ohter party. In addition the treaty contained a secret protocol in which they defined the borders of the so called "spheres of influence" in the possible events of an invasion to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland.
After the signature of the pact Germany and the Soviet Union invaded Poland with a few days of distance between both operations and the new borders was set up by the secret protocol.
The secret protocol was just a rumour untill it was made public at the Nuremberg Trials.

The correct answer is A) It had a complex system of canals, bridges, and dams, with the Great Temple at the center.
The statement that is true of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán is "It had a complex system of canals, bridges, and dams, with the Great Temple at the center."
Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Great Aztec empire in Mesoamerican times. It was located in what today is downtown Mexico City. The city was built over a lake, the Texcoco Lake. That is why they built a complex system of canals, bridges, dams, and chinampas around the main ceremonial center with the two high pyramids to honor Aztec's gods Huitzilopochtli (War) and Tlaloc (Rain).
I believe the answer is: B)<span> Village priests led a lifestyle similar to that of the nobility
At that time, the king would directly consult to a priest whenever He want to make the decision for the people. This mean that the role of the priest at that time is similar to the role of ministers on modern day's government. This make the priests have equal standing with other nobles.</span>
