Explanation:

1. Check the first passage: It mentions the tribe (called El Dorado) did a special coronation ceremony with gold, covered the king in gold dust, filled a carved gold boat, then the leader rowed to the lake and dropped gold. It does not name the tribe as "Muisca" or state all kings were called El Dorado.
2. Evaluate each option:

• Option 1: The first passage says the leader rowed the boat and dropped gold, not the king. This is not in the first passage, but we need to confirm it is in the second (implied as the correct unique detail).
• Option 2: The first passage explicitly states a special ceremony was done when a new king was crowned, so this appears in both.
• Option 3: The first passage says the ceremony involved "lots and lots of gold", so this appears in both.
• Option 4: The first passage only says the tribe was called El Dorado, not that all their kings had this title. This is a detail unique to the second passage.

Corrected evaluation: The first passage states the leader dropped the gold, not the king. The first passage also does not name the tribe as Muisca. Rechecking the core unique detail: The first passage refers to the tribe as "called El Dorado", not that the kings were called this. The option that is only in the second passage is that the people called all their kings El Dorado, while the first passage says the tribe itself had that name.

Answer:

D. The people of the Muisca tribe called all of their kings El Dorado.
