Select the correct answer.

Read the following excerpt from the sacred Maya book Popol Vuh. Note that in the excerpt, the Maya forefathers are talking to the animals they just created.

Then they [the Maya forefathers] said to them [the animals]: “Because it has not been possible for you to talk, you shall be changed. We have changed our minds: Your food, your pasture, your homes, and your nests you shall have; they shall be the ravines and the woods, because it has not been possible for you to adore us or invoke us. There shall be those who adore us, we shall make other [beings] who shall be obedient. Accept your destiny: your flesh shall be torn to pieces. So shall it be. This shall be your lot.” So they said, when they made known their will to the large and small animals which are on the face of the earth.

Answer:

D.They believed that it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer options:

A.They believed that animals were wicked and ungrateful creatures.
B.They believed that humans were the civilized descendants of animals.
C.They believed that animals had to be sacrificed for the greater good.
D.They believed that it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten.
E.They believed that humans were a gentler species compared to animals.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, I conclude that the Maya forefathers believed it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten. The key segment of this text is "Accept your destiny. Your flesh shall be torn to pieces." The forefathers mention they have changed their mind because animals were not able to adore or obey them.

Because animals cannot adore their creators, "there shall be those" who will be able to do all of this. These "others" are the humans, who will hunt and eat animals. Animals will then have to accept their destiny and "be changed," being sent to the ravines and the woods.  

Hence, option D is correct.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the two maps. Without them, we do not know your specific reference.

However, trying to help you and after doing some deep research, we can say the maps portray the Spanish, British, and Dutch trade maritime routes from 1750 to 1850. The other map shows the many trade routes in 2010 that practically crossed all over the world.

That is why we can answer that one significant reason for changes in the patterns of global economic interactions from circa 1750 to circa 2000, as illustrated by the two maps are the technology and modernization of means of transportation that today include land, air, and sea.

Trade has been the activity that has developed most rapidly all over the world in those years. Today, there are international organizations and free trade agreements that connect the world through trade.

More people on the planet started to require more products from all places and developed nations exploited natural resources and raw materials and produced more and better goods in their industrialized cities that were exported.

b. The development of diseases in the sixteenth century would support the arguments of the “new generation of historians in the second paragraph because the “new generation of historians” would look at this in relation to european imperialism and see the impact of the european diseases like smallpox that would plague places like modern day united states because of the european immunity, but lack of native immunity.  

c. The “biological competition” contributed to the European imperialism in the Americas by creating a survival of the fittest environment where the europeans brought in diseases like smallpox that had plagued europe generations ago, but infected the native populations and weaken them in both their numbers and their strength, which enabled the Europeans to take control of the new world and develop a dominance while the natives were fighting a disease. This was “biological competition” because the Europeans' immunity was assisting them in fighting the natives' lack thereof.

In 1574, Akbar the emperor of the Subcontinent ordered his wazir to make a Katab-khana in the palace. This was to discover and reintroduce old texts. Books like Rajatarangini, Ramayana and Mahabharata were translated into different languages. One of these languages was Persian. After this many different old books both religious and non-religious were translated for the general public to read.

This was done to make different sects and religions stay united. His actions to a certain extent did eliminate disagreements between the people from different religions.

Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak was not the person behind Akbar's policies. It was actually his favorite wife named Mariam-uz-Zamani. She was a Hindu by birth.

By reading the above text, we can have a lot of information about the city of Quanzhou and Chinese trade. Based on this, we can answer the questions as follows:

1. One historical process that explains the religion of Srivijaya merchants in Quanzhou is the growth of maritime trade in that region. This trade promoted the passage of many different people, with different religions that influenced the local population. Among these religions, Mahayana Buddhism was one of the greatest influences.2. One aspect of China's economic development during the Song Dynasty was the establishment of international trade relations.

It was an average day here in Massachusetts, warm and crisp, but something was wrong. There had been tell of witches roaming our country, and any suspicious actions were supposed to be reported immediately. Suddenly, a mounty came riding into town with two screaming girls. He was taking them to the town council, so I decided to follow him.
As I peeked into the window of the town hall, I heard the mounty speak about witchcraft and how he had found the young girls prancing about the wood chanting eerie songs. As I looked closer, I realized that one of the girls was my friend Mary. She would never do witchery, not ever! I heard the councilmen talk of a stake and fire. The next day, Mary was a pile of ashes on the ground.
