Which of the following pieces of evidence does the author use to support his argument about the pride of Inca rulers in the second paragraph? *
"One of the things that struck me most in Peru was its great, splendid highways, and I wondered how many men it must
have required to build them and what tools and instruments were used to level the mountains and cut through the rock to
make them as broad and good as they are. It seems to me that if the king of Spain wanted to build a highway from Quito
to Curco. I do not think that he could do it even with all of his power unless he followed the method that the Inca
employed
When an Inca king decided to build one of these highways, all he needed to do was give the command. Then, the
inspectors would go through the provinces, laying out the highway's route and assigning Indians to help build the road.
In this way, the road was built in a short time from one boundary of the kingdom to the other. The Inca rulers
built many of these roads and were so full of pride that when one ruler died, his heir would build his road larger and
broader if he intended to set out on a conquest."

Inca rulers followed the method of dynastic succession for passing political authority
from one ruler to another

Inca rulers performed religious ceremonies to bless the highways and those who
traveled on them.

Inca rulers assigned men and women from the provinces to construct the highways.

Inca rulers typically tried to construct bigger and broader highways than their
predecessors if they wanted to undertake conquests.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the author narrates how magnificent the Inca roads were and how the people worked for their king so faithfully, who had not to give a command.

The piece of evidence that the author uses to support his argument about the pride of the Inca rulers is the detail he mentioned about Inca rulers constructing bigger and broader highways if they wanted to go on a conquest.

the correct answer is "pioneers carried all of their possessions on long and dangerous trails".

the first wave of pioneers travelled in 1842. they were merely 100 people. the next year that sum climbed to 1000 men, women, and children. these people travelled around 2,000 miles to oregon in the hopes of a better life. although the first part of the trip didn't present many obstacles, as time and miles went by they learnt that threat came from simple things, like becoming ill due to unclean water or bad food.

the weather didn't much, as wagons couldn't protect them from storms. as they travelled through the desert, the intense heat caused wood to shrink. their own lips abscessed and split because of the dry air. the only cure for this was to rub axle grease on their lips.

even crossing rivers was dangerous. sometimes wheels were damaged by unseen rocks on shallow water. mud didn't much either. pioneers were afraid of indian attacks, but there aren't many records of fights between pioneers and native americans. accidents happened because of negligence, exhaustion, guns, and bad weather.

history says that 1 of 10 pioneers who travelled to oregon didn't survive the journey. diseases spread fastly because they didn't have doctors and medical care was ofently improvised. one of the most deadly diseases they came upon was cholera, which became a worldwide pandemia.
