Please help me ASAP: Read and then write a paragraph answering the question.
Tikal lies deep in the jungle in the Peten province of Guatemala, directly between the headwaters of rivers flowing east to the Caribbean coast and west to the Gulf of Mexico. Tikal had access to both coasts, but was protected from powerful non-Maya groups by its remoteness. It is situated on high ground surrounded by large, swampy depressions, which protected Tikal from neighboring cities.

Tikal was a city-state governed by kings. Its huge public buildings included royal residences, offices markets, and giant temple-pyramids. Inside the temple shown here archeologists discovered the tomb of one of the Tikal’s kings, Lord Cacao. His tomb is rich in trade goods from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Although tikal was one of the largest of all Maya cities, it had no local source of water. For water consumption during the dry season, it depended completely on artificial reservoirs dispersed through the city. Building and maintaining these large reservoirs required a great deal of labor and technical administration. There is evidence that a few people continued to live in the main buildings of Tikal for another hundred years or so after its collapse, but hey lived primitively and could not maintain the water system.

Question: Why do you think Tikal collapsed? Please use evidence from the previous passage to support your answer and highlight that evidence.

The legend of king arthur and the basis of its factuality have drawn a good deal of attention for hundreds of years, from both popular culture as well as academic scholars. consider, now, the consequences of a definitive resolution to the issue of his existence. do you feel that not knowing in this case is perhaps preferred to knowing? what other mysteries might we as a culture prefer to remain unsolved? why?

Iam for the "immediate, unconditional, and universal" enfranchisement of the black man, in ev [loud applause.] without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slay liberty as a privilege, not as a right. he is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protec how does the repetition of the phrase "without this" support the paragraph's argument? it reinforces the idea that without equality in the us, the idea of a free society is a joke. it suggests that a free society is possible, with or without equal rights for all people. it indicates that douglass would be content without material possessions or status. it proposes that slavery will not be abolished in the us without the support of all citizens.

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
