3. the inca empire became the largest pre - columbian empire.
4. bustling marketplaces filled tenochtitlán and other cities.

run - on sentences
split the following run - on sentences into two simple sentences. rewrite both sentences. remember to include correct capitalization and punctuation.

1. cuzco was the center of the inca empire all roads led there

Explanation:

For the "Subjects and Predicates" part:

• In a sentence, the subject is who or what the sentence is about. The predicate tells something about the subject (usually contains the verb and other related information). For example, in "The Aztec valued education", "The Aztec" is the subject (the group being talked about) and "valued education" is the predicate (what the Aztec did).

For the "Run - On Sentences" part:

• A run - on sentence has two independent clauses (clauses that can stand alone as sentences) joined incorrectly. Here, we split "Cuzco was the center of the Inca Empire all roads led there" into two separate sentences by adding a period. Each new sentence is an independent clause with proper capitalization and punctuation.

Answer:

1. The Aztec | valued education.
2. Few commoners | entered the city of Cuzco.
3. The Inca Empire | became the largest pre - Columbian empire.
4. Bustling marketplaces | filled Tenochtitlán and other cities.
5. Machu Picchu | is one of the world’s most important archaeological sites.

For the run - on sentence:
Cuzco was the center of the Inca Empire. All roads led there.
