According to the passage, what recent perspective do many scholars hold about the Mayan collapse?
-
The collapse of the Mayan civilization has long intrigued historians and archaeologists alike. While there is consensus that environmental stress played a significant role—evidenced by prolonged droughts and deforestation—many scholars now argue that internal socio-political factors were equally decisive. Research suggests that the Mayan city-states may have engaged in resource-intensive warfare, weakening their capacity to adapt to ecological pressures. Furthermore, extreme stratification of society could have exacerbated social unrest, limiting collective resilience. The collapse was not an instantaneous event but rather a prolonged disintegration of complex systems, culminating in the abandonment of monumental centers. This process underscores the fragility of even the most sophisticated cultures when faced with a combination of environmental challenges and institutional shortcomings.

Which point does the passage make about marathon events?
-
Long-distance running has evolved from an elite athletic pursuit to a globally embraced phenomenon. Marathons, in particular, attract a diverse range of participants—professional athletes, amateur enthusiasts, and even charity fundraisers—united by the challenge and camaraderie these events foster. Despite its inclusive nature, marathon training demands rigorous discipline, often involving months of structured workouts and nutritional planning. For seasoned runners, the event is not merely a race but a personal odyssey that tests both physical limits and psychological resilience. Critics, however, highlight the commercialization of high-profile marathons, where escalating registration fees and corporate sponsorships can overshadow the spirit of genuine athletic competition. Still, the global popularity of long-distance running underscores a fundamental desire for self-improvement, communal support, and the thrill of conquering seemingly insurmountable distances.
