?
they both describe who the man called el dorado was.

they both explain where el dorado was in south america.
they both tell that el dorado was not a real city.

Explanation:

Both passages state that the golden city of El Dorado that explorers sought did not exist as a real city. The first passage says "It wasn't a real city" and the second says "this golden dream city didn't exist". The other options are incorrect: only the second passage mentions El Dorado was a man, only the first names a specific explorer, and only the second specifies South America as the supposed location.

Answer:

They both tell that El Dorado was not a real city.
