Which choice most logically completes the text? Archaeologists and historians used to believe that the Maya civilization during its Classic period (roughly 250–900) lacked agricultural marketplaces. One reason for this belief was that these scholars misunderstood the ecology of the regions the Maya inhabited. Marketplaces typically emerge because different individuals or groups want to trade resources they control for resources they don't control. Scholars seriously underestimated the ecological diversity of the Maya landscape and thus assumed that ______
- 1farmers would trade agricultural products only if they had already produced enough to meet their own needs.
- 2marketplaces would not have enabled Maya people to acquire many products different from those they already produced.✓
- 3farming practices would have been largely the same throughout Maya lands even if the crops people produced varied significantly.
- 4marketplaces likely would not have attracted many traders from outside the regions controlled by the Maya.
Correct answer
marketplaces would not have enabled Maya people to acquire many products different from those they already produced.
