Answer

Answer:

  1. A. the decimation of the population by smallpox and civil war
  2. B. Comían en el parque cuando empezó a llover.

Brief Explanations:

  1. The Inca empire faced strife due to smallpox - an introduced disease that devastated the population, and civil war, which led to the abandonment of Machu Picchu.
  2. The Spanish sentence "Comían en el parque cuando empezó a llover" correctly uses the imperfect tense "comían" for the ongoing action of eating and the preterite "empezó" for the sudden - starting action of rain beginning, matching the English sentence's tenses.
