Question

Read the first four paragraphs of “The Maya.” Which paragraph explains how historians learned about the Mayan civilization?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

The Maya organized themselves into small city-states instead of one big empire. The largest was Tikal, which by 750 CE, had about 40,000 inhabitants. Tikal's residents had specialized occupations and were ruled by elites. The city-states fought each other frequently. The main goal was to capture their enemies and sacrifice them to the Mayan gods.
