Answer:

The answer is "FALSE"

Step-by-step explanation:

Chocolate wasn't widely available because it was almost as valuable as gold. The Aztecs only served it to people of higher power.

And also I know its False because I just took the quiz and the answer was False. (I hope this helps!)

True

Historians estimate that chocolate has been around for 2000 years or more. In Aztec societies, chocolate was known as "xocoatl" which referred to a bitter drink that came from cacao beans. Moreover, the name they had for the cacao tree was Theobroma, which meant "food of the Gods".

You can find evidernce of the abundance of chocolate in the Aztec culture in carved vessels from the elite, hieroglyphs in ceramics and vases and chocolate paraphernalia found in tombs.
