The following question refers to the stimulus below:
"The vivid scene of animals cavorting around the edge of lakes that once shimmered in Mexico City was painted by Aztec Indians in the early 15305At the center of the 16-yard-long
painting is a Christian cross in black and white, floating above a colorful, lively scene of fishermen, frogs, fish, and other creatures. To the right of the cross and below it, the Indians painted
an Ahulzotl, a mythical Aztec animch with paws resembling hands that was considered a servant or representative of the Aztec rain god, Tlaloc. To the left, there is a jaguar with a stylized
plant on its back, upon which rests an eagle - a preference to pre-Hispanic place names and the kingdoms that ruled before the Spanish came. Indians also drew gracefully executed
depictions of lakeside plants, some of which were used in traditional Aztec medicine."
