Question

this map shows the location of the olmec civilization in the area shaded orange. which early american culture lived to the east of the olmecs? the aztecs the chavins the incas the maya

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the locations: The Olmec were in southern Mexico (near the Gulf of Mexico). The Aztecs were in central Mexico (west - central relative to Olmec? No, not east). The Chavins and Incas were in South America (far from Olmec's area). The Maya lived on the Yucatan Peninsula, which is to the east of the Olmec's location (near the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan is eastward). So the Maya is the correct choice.

Answer:

the Maya
