Explanation:

To solve the matching, we analyze each challenge and solution:

1. For the challenge "The soft, wet land around the island makes it difficult to build permanent structures like buildings or farms", the solution "Use mud and tree trunks to create stable platforms for permanent buildings" is appropriate as it addresses the issue of unstable land for construction.

1. For the challenge "The island is far away from the shore of the lake. It is difficult to transport important goods to the island", the solution "Build bridges that connect the island to the mainland" makes sense as bridges would facilitate transportation.

1. For the challenge "The island has few animals, and farming is difficult. Getting food to feed all the Mexica people is hard", the solution "Eat things that can be easily found in lakes and marshes, such as fish and frogs" is suitable as it provides an alternative food source from the surrounding water bodies.
