Answer 1

The most accurate response relating to the similar environmental and cultural impacts of the Aztec and Inca is:

They both altered their environment for farming and introduced language.

Both civilizations made significant modifications to their environment to support agricultural practices. The Aztecs developed chinampas (floating gardens) to maximize arable land in their swampy environment, while the Incas built terraced farming systems in the Andes mountains to cultivate crops at high altitudes. Additionally, both cultures had distinct languages (Nahuatl for the Aztecs and Quechua for the Incas), which remain influential in their respective regions today.

While the other options touch upon certain aspects of their cultures, they do not collectively capture the broader environmental and cultural impacts as effectively as the chosen response.
