On the basis of the passage, which one of the following worldviews can be inferred to be closest to that of the Classic Maya?
Explanation:
Mayans looked at things democratically and in a nonbinary way. Humans were not the only important things to them.
The second paragraph says "The Maya saw personhood as 'activated' by experiencing certain bodily needs and through participation in certain social activities. For example, among the faced objects that I examined, persons are marked by personal requirements (such as hunger, tiredness, physical closeness), and by community obligations (communication, interaction, ritual observance)."
This tells us that personhood was not based on the usefulness of nonpersons to humans or their similarity to humans. Hence, options (a), (c) and (d) can be eliminated.
Option (b) talks about ecosystem of plants (i.e., social aspect) and need nutritions (bodily needs).
Hence, option (b).
