Explanation:

Question 3

The sentence is about the Spanish going back on their agreement. "Retract" means to withdraw or take back a statement or agreement. The past tense of "retract" is "retracted", which fits the context of them breaking their agreement later.

The context is about being diverted or having attention taken away by the gold and silver walls, leading to forgetting what one was doing. "Distracted" means to be diverted from one's attention or course, and "get distracted" is a common phrase here.

The sentence is about whether the crumbling palaces and temples take away from the qualities of Machu Picchu. "Detract" means to diminish or take away from the value or importance of something, and "do not detract" fits the context of the palaces/temples not reducing Machu Picchu's impressiveness.

Answer:

retracted
