Please help me ASAP: Read and then write a paragraph answering the question.
Tikal lies deep in the jungle in the Peten province of Guatemala, directly between the headwaters of rivers flowing east to the Caribbean coast and west to the Gulf of Mexico. Tikal had access to both coasts, but was protected from powerful non-Maya groups by its remoteness. It is situated on high ground surrounded by large, swampy depressions, which protected Tikal from neighboring cities.

Tikal was a city-state governed by kings. Its huge public buildings included royal residences, offices markets, and giant temple-pyramids. Inside the temple shown here archeologists discovered the tomb of one of the Tikal’s kings, Lord Cacao. His tomb is rich in trade goods from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Although tikal was one of the largest of all Maya cities, it had no local source of water. For water consumption during the dry season, it depended completely on artificial reservoirs dispersed through the city. Building and maintaining these large reservoirs required a great deal of labor and technical administration. There is evidence that a few people continued to live in the main buildings of Tikal for another hundred years or so after its collapse, but hey lived primitively and could not maintain the water system.

Question: Why do you think Tikal collapsed? Please use evidence from the previous passage to support your answer and highlight that evidence.

Which excerpt from the war of the worldseffectively reveals how the author relates the climax of the narrative through the narrator's thoughts? the war of the worldsall this had happened with such swiftness that i had stood motionless, dumbfounded and dazzled by the flashes of light. had that death swept through a full circle, it must inevitably have slain me in my surprise. but it passed and spared me, and left the night about me suddenly dark and unfamiliar.and then, with a renewed horror, i saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit. it was the head of the shopman who had fallen in, but showing as a little black object against the hot western sun.at that time it was quite clear in my own mind that the thing had come from the planet mars, but i judged it improbable that it contained any living creature. i thought the unscrewing might be automatic.my mind ran fancifully on the possibilities of its containing manuscript, on the difficulties in translation that might arise, whether we should find coins and models in it, and so forth. yet it was a little too large for assurance on this idea. i felt an impatience to see it opened.
