Question 6 • NC-World History: Issues and Patterns

Which statement best describes the city of Tenochtitlán?

Answer
A
It was a marketplace city within the Incan empire.
B
It was the largest city in the ancient Americas.
C
It was the trading city founded by Pizarro.
D
It was a port city where Spanish explorers landed.

Explanation

Tenochtitlán was the Aztec capital, built on an island in Lake Texcoco where Mexico City is today. At its height, it was the largest city in the ancient Americas. It was not an Incan marketplace or a city founded by Pizarro, and it was not a port where Spanish explorers first landed.
