Read the first four paragraphs of “The Maya.” Which paragraph explains how historians learned about the Mayan civilization?
A
As the Olmecs declined, their neighbors to the east — the Maya — prospered in an area the size of Colorado or Great Britain. This area on the Yucatan Peninsula had poor, infertile soil and no large rivers, not ideal for a flourishing civilization. Yet its people built terraces to trap silt from the small rivers. They grew corn, beans, squash, peppers, cassava, and cacao (chocolate). With no beasts of burden (horses, oxen), their luxury goods were portable — feathers, jade, gold, and shells.
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.
C
We know about the Maya because they developed an elaborate and sophisticated writing system. It was the most advanced in Mesoamerica. Mayan writing included both pictographs and symbols for syllables. Since the 1980s, scholars have made great progress in deciphering this script. Many carved inscriptions have survived, but only a few accordion books on bark or deerskin remain.
D
Maya shamans (priests) were quite advanced in cosmology and mathematics. They invented three kinds of calendars. A 365-day solar year calendar was used for agricultural cycles. A 260-day ritual calendar was used for daily affairs. A third calendar, called the Long Count calendar, went back to 3114 BCE. It recorded the large-scale passage of time.

write a 5 sentence paragraph based on What is the significance of the Preamble's opening words, "We the people of the United States"? I WILL NAME BRAINLIEST
The Preamble helped explain why the Constitution was written. We the people: This phrase means all the citizens of the United States of America. Even though the Constitution was written up by some of the most well-educated men of the new country, the rights given under the document were given to all American citizens. The first words of the Constitution solidify the idea that the Constitution is of the people, for the people, and by the people.
What are two methods of measuring public opinion?
Answer: The formal academic study of public opinion is relatively new but the practical study of public opinion is
not new at all. Governments have paid attention to public opinion as long as there have been
governments. Even the most oppressive tyrants need to know what the people are thinking, even if just to
oppress them more effectively. As the famous investigator of public opinion, V.O. Key, Jr. said,
“Governments must concern themselves with the opinions of their citizens, if only to provide a basis for
repression of disaffection.” (1961, 3)
One of the earliest expressions of public opinion was rebellion. Peasant rebellions have occurred
throughout history. When the king saw his subjects in open rebellion, it was a pretty clear sign that the
public’s support for his government was eroding. Unpaid taxes was another clue; when rulers saw their
tax receipts dwindle and heard reports of tax collectors being killed, they knew that public opinion was
turning against them.
For centuries rulers have established secret police forces to find out which people oppose the government
and to eliminate them. Secret police have, among other things, acted as monitors of public opinion.
Fortunately, not all governments need to hire secret police or wait for peasant rebellions to learn about
public opinion. Democratic governments, especially, have much better procedures to learn about public
opinion and measure it. In this chapter, we explore ways that governments can learn about, and act on,
their citizens’ opinions. We classify the methods of learning public opinion into informal and formal
methods. The informal are very important but they do not involve any formal explicit research
methodologies. Informal methodologies include elections, letters from constituents, media coverage, and
protest marches. Formal methods, on the other hand, involve definite research designs and formal
research methodologies; they are methods designed by experts to research public opinion. Examples of
formal methodologies are telephone surveys, focus groups, and content analysis.
In this book, like practically every book on public opinion, we devote most of the coverage to formal
research methods, especially survey research. But because of our focus on how opinions held by
members of the public get translated into public policy, we spend more time on the “informal” methods
here than is customary in a book like this. We attempt to view public opinion as governmental decision
makers would see it. In the real world of politics, these governmental leaders find out about people’s
opinions in a variety of ways, both informal and formal. We will once again emphasize the informal
ways that political leaders learn about public opinion in the chapter on political participation. We will see
in that chapter that the informal methods tend to favor the wealthy and educated members of the society

Hello everyone! Can you answer the question, "How did cultural diffusion change the world of ancient Greece?
Answer:
Ancient Greece is one is one of the most important civilizations in history. Why? Simply because they were the base of many things that we believe in, practice, or build upon today. Some examples are language, architecture, art, science, and much more. Over hundreds and thousands of years technology, agricultural techniques, weapons, and education has advanced and evolved. Many of these ideas not only started within Ancient Greece, but within other ancient civilizations as well. Have you ever wondered what life would have been like if the ideas and inventions that Ancient civilizations had uncovered had not been shared with other societies?

You have learned that invasive species are plants, animals, and organisms that encroach on and ultimately take over the habitat of native species. Search “invasive species in the United States” and choose one species from the results. Find information on the invasive species you choose, including when, where, and how it was introduced into the United States and what dangers it might pose. Should these dangers be addressed? Are attempts being made to stop the spread of this species? If not, should anything be done to stop the spread of the species?
Respond to the prompt. Support your opinions with explanations and evidence.
If you can you make it about the Burmese Python.
Answer:
Invasive species are a significant threat to many native habitats and species of the United States and a significant cost to agriculture, forestry, and recreation. The term "invasive species" can refer to introduced/naturalized species, feral species, or introduced diseases. Some introduced species, such as the dandelion, do not cause significant economic or ecologic damage and are not widely considered as invasive. Economic damages associated with invasive species' effects and control costs are estimated at $120 billion per year.[1]

What is ONE thing modern nations can learn from the Ming Dynasty’s
mistakes in regards to isolationism and trade? Be sure to address both
isolationism and trade in your response. Your response should be at least 2-3 sentences
Answer:
The Ming Dynasty
Explanation:
The Ming Dynasty are best known for building the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty went with the isolationism aproach because they were afraid of foreign invasions and thought the outside of China was barabaric (also because of pirates). Modern Nations can learn by knowing what's going on with who they're working with. And then there's trading. They had many rules that foreign traders had to follow. And the traders had to pay a fee. Now the nations have moden solutions to modern problems. (I am so sorry if I wasn't able to help, this isn't my best subject. I am NOT an expert on any of this just trying to help).
Answer:
The Ming dynasty (/mɪŋ/),[7] officially the Great Ming, was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644 following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty. The Ming dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China ruled by Han Chinese. Although the primary capital of Beijing fell in 1644 to a rebellion led by Li Zicheng (who established the Shun dynasty, soon replaced by the Manchu-led Qing dynasty), numerous rump regimes ruled by remnants of the Ming imperial family—collectively called the Southern Ming—survived until 1662.[f]
The Hongwu Emperor (r. 1368–1398) attempted to create a society of self-sufficient rural communities ordered in a rigid, immobile system that would guarantee and support a permanent class of soldiers for his dynasty:[8] the empire's standing army exceeded one million troops and the navy's dockyards in Nanjing were the largest in the world.[9] He also took great care breaking the power of the court eunuchs[10] and unrelated magnates, enfeoffing his many sons throughout China and attempting to guide these princes through the Huang-Ming Zuxun, a set of published dynastic instructions. This failed when his teenage successor, the Jianwen Emperor, attempted to curtail his uncles' power, prompting the Jingnan campaign, an uprising that placed the Prince of Yan upon the throne as the Yongle Emperor in 1402.
