Explanation:

First Question: Who held the most power in the Mayan political structure?

In the Mayan political structure, kings (also called rulers or ajaws) held the highest political power, combining political and often religious authority. Warriors were important but not the top power holders, priests had religious influence but not the primary political power, and farmers were commoners with little political power.

Mayan city - states had trade networks that connected them with other regions in Mesoamerica. These networks made the city - states centers of trade, allowing them to acquire valuable goods and gain wealth. The trans - atlantic trade network was established much later with European exploration, and Europeans came to the Americas after the Mayan classical period. Trade networks were beneficial, not a cause of decline for Mayan city - states.

Teotihuacán had interactions with the Maya. Studying Teotihuacán (a highly advanced Mesoamerican city) shows how technologically advanced the Maya - related civilizations were, as there were cultural and technological exchanges. The Maya had a good understanding of mathematics and astronomy, Teotihuacán was affiliated with Maya - related regions, and Teotihuacán was not isolated during the Mayan classical era.
