To determine which conclusion is best supported by the map you mentioned, it would be helpful to consider the geographical features and historical context of the Aztec and Olmec civilizations.
-
The Aztec empire conquered the Olmec civilization. - This is unlikely since the Olmec civilization was already in decline when the Aztecs rose to power.
-
The Olmec civilization depended on slash-and-burn agriculture. - This statement may or may not be supported depending on the specifics of the map, as Olmecs were primarily known for their development of agriculture, including the cultivation of crops in a more settled agricultural system.
-
The Aztec empire expanded across a variety of landforms. - This conclusion would be supported if the map shows the Aztec empire covering various terrains such as mountains, valleys, and flatlands.
-
Food production was easier for the Aztecs than it was for the Olmecs. - Without specific evidence from the map about agricultural techniques and production differences, it's difficult to support this statement.
If the map shows a diverse range of geographical features within the boundaries of the Aztec empire, then the best-supported conclusion would be: "The Aztec empire expanded across a variety of landforms."
