1) The correct options are: B - C- E

The Mayan civilization produced a spectacular architecture. Dozens of cities and hundreds of monuments dot the vast tropical jungles of Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Mexico, as well as the Yucatan forest. Large and often highly decorated, the palaces were usually near the center of a city and hosted the elite of the population. Any royal palace that is extremely large, or one that consists of several chambers on different levels, can be called an acropolis. However, often these were a story and consisted of several small chambers and at least one inner courtyard; These structures seem to take into account the functionality required by a residence, as well as the decoration required by the stature of its inhabitants. Archaeologists seem to agree that many palaces are home to several tombs.

2) The correct option si A

So far, two theories have dominated the debate over the origin of Mayan civilization: one that suggests that the Mayans developed almost entirely on their own in what is now southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize, and another that suggests that Olmec civilization was the dominant cultural influence of the Maya.
