Answer 1

the correct answer is C

Answer 2

The statement about the ancient civilizations of mesoamerica is false: The Mayan civilization arose in the highland areas of Mexico.

• The Mayan civilization was part of the Mesoamerican civilization.
• The Mayan civilization centred in parts of Central America and South America.
• The Mayas lived in an autonomous city, which was controlled by a king.
• Mayans farmed corn, beans and squash.

Therefore we can conclude that the Mayan civilization did not live in the highland areas of Mexico.
