(*20 points! *) use the excerpt to answer the question. it is said that when the [sun] was made, . . there was fasting for four days. it is said that the moon would be the sun. and when four days were completed, it is said, the [sun] was made during the night . . a very great fire was laid . . into which was to leap, was to fall the moon—where he was to gain renown, glory: by which he would become the sun. and the moon thereupon went to leap into the fire. then all the gods shouted, they said: “when [is this to be], o gods? let the sun stop! ” but little [nanahuatzini] had already dared; he thereupon leaped into the fire. thus he became the sun. —fray bernardino de sahagún, in a translation of an aztec text according to your knowledge of aztec society, a member of which of the following classes most likely recorded the text? a.) priests b.) traders c.) serfs d.) nobles

A) priests

Explanation:

This story was most likely recorded by an Aztec priest. This is because Aztec priests were the ones who knew the stories of the gods in detail. Aztec priests were meant to know the entire history of the world, and through these stories, they legitimized both the Aztec empire and the ruling family. This is because the royal family was considered to be descended from the gods.

the years following the end of world war i were a period of deep social tensions, aggrevated by high wartime inflation. food prices more than doubled between 1915 and 1920; clothing costs more than tripled. a steel strike that began in chicago in 1919 became much more than a simple dispute between labor and management. the steel strike of 1919 became the focal point for profound social anxieties, especially fears of bolshevism.

organized labor had grown in strength during the course of the war. many unions won recognition and the 12-hour workday was abolished. an 8-hour days was instituted on war contract work and by 1919, half the country's workers had a 48-hour work week.

the war's end, however, was accompanied by labor turmoil, as labor demanded union recognition, shorter hours, and raises exceeding the inflation rate. over 4 million workers--one fifth of the nation's workforce--participated in strikes in 1919, including 365,000 steelworkers and 400,000 miners. the number of striking workers would not be matched until the depression year of 1937.

the year began with a general strike in seattle. police offers in boston went on strike, touching off several days of rioting and crime. but the most tumultuous strike took place in the steel industry. then some 350,000 steelworkers in 24 separate craft union went on strike as part of a drive by the american federation of labor to unionize the industry. from management's perspective, the steel strike represented the handiwork of radicals and professional labor agitators. the steel industry's leaders regarded the strike as a radical conspiracy to get the company to pay a 12-hour wage for eight hours' work. at a time when communists were seizing power in hungary and were staging a revolt in germany, and workers in italy were seizing factories, some industrialists feared that the steel strike was the first step toward overturning the industrial system.

the strike ended with the complete defeat of the unions. from labor's perspective, the corporations had triumphed through espionage, blacklists, and the denial of freedom of speech and assembly and through the complete unwillingness to recognize the right of collective bargaining with the workers' representatives.

during the 1920s, many of labor's gains during world war i and the progressive era were rolled back. membership in labor unions fell from 5 million to 3 million. the us supreme court outlawed picketing, overturned national child labor laws, and abolished minimum wage laws for women.
