Question

Which statement most likely describes why some of Pizarro’s men called him a butcher? Pizarro was so determined to conquer Peru that he ignored hardships faced by his men. Before becoming a conquistador, Pizarro had worked as a butcher back in Spain. Pizarro had strong hands and the knowledge of animals common to many butchers. His men did not approve of Pizarro’s cruel and violent treatment of the native captives.

Answer 1

Pizarro was so determined to conquer Peru that he ignored hardships faced by his men.

Answer 2

If you were to break the statements down you notice that,

- (Before becoming a conquistador, Pizarro had worked as a butcher back in Spain.)

That statement doesn't make any sense. Cross that out.

Next (Pizarro had strong hands and the knowledge of the animals common to many butchers.)

This shows nothing about why the men "would" call him that.

That leaves you with 2 Choices.

The one that makes the most sense is ---> "Pizarro was so determined to conquer Peru that he ignored hardships faced by his men.

Hope that Helped!
