true
false

aztecs
incas
toltecs
olmec

what three things led to the decline of the olmec culture? *
evidence of internal upheavals
military defeat
rituals associated with death of ruler
all are correct
none of these are correct

Explanation:

• For the first question: Mesoamerica is not called the "mother culture." The term "mother culture" is often associated with the Olmec civilization in Mesoamerica as they were one of the earliest and highly influential civilizations in that region. So the answer to "Mesoamerica is sometimes called'mother culture'" is False.
• For the second question: The Olmec civilization was known for its use of rubber (they made rubber balls for their ballgames). So the tribe known as the dweller in the land of rubber is the Olmec.
• For the third question: The decline of the Olmec culture is thought to be due to internal upheavals (such as social unrest, changes in leadership structures etc.). There is no strong evidence of a military defeat by an external force in the traditional sense for their decline. And rituals associated with the death of a ruler are more of a cultural practice rather than a cause of decline. So none of the options (evidence of internal upheavals, military defeat, rituals associated with death of ruler) are correct reasons for the decline of the Olmec culture.

Answer:

1. False
2. Olmec
3. none of these are correct
