\as soon as the incan ruler had conquered any kingdom and set up his government, he ordered
that the farmland used to grow corn be extended. for this purpose, he ordered irrigation
channels to be constructed. the engineers showed great cleverness and skill in supplying water

Explanation:

For the first [Select], the excerpt mentions the Inca grew "corn" as it says "the farmland used to grow corn be extended". For the second [Select], it says "he ordered irrigation channels to be constructed" to grow the crops, so the method is "irrigation (or irrigation channels)".

Answer:

First [Select]: corn
Second [Select]: irrigation (or irrigation channels)
