Explanation:

The text describes well - built roads, bridges, and a structured society in Peru, indicating a certain level of wealth and development. It mentions that such beautiful roads could not be found throughout Christendom, suggesting that some American civilizations had infrastructure and wealth comparable to those in Afro - Eurasia. The tone does not support the idea of less developed governments in the Americas compared to Afro - Eurasia, nor does it suggest European visitors wanted mutually beneficial relationships (as it's about the conquest of Peru), and it clearly shows infrastructure development contrary to the idea that the Incas (in the context of Peru) were violent and neglected infrastructure.

Answer:

Some civilizations in the Americas enjoyed wealth on a par with many in Afro - Eurasia.
