Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aztec society had a diversity of occupational categories, including farmers, artisans, merchants, warriors, and priests.

Answer: B 
 The Aztecs used standardized money called cocoa beans for market purchases.

Answer: D 
 The Aztecs had a hierarchical monarchy system led by a supreme ruler known as the huey tlatoani, who was elected from the most noble and influential families. However, the election process was not democratic, and the ruler had absolute powers. Therefore, option D is partially true.

Answer: A 
 The Aztecs were an empire, not an egalitarian society based merely on agriculture. The social class system of the Aztecs was hierarchical, with the nobles and priests at the top, commoners in the middle, and slaves at the bottom. Therefore, option A is incorrect.
