Final answer:
The passage describes a brutal assault by Spaniards on musicians, singers, and other individuals in the 'Sacred Patio' and temple during the colonial era, rather than a specific challenge between a missionary and 'sacred men'.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage provided appears to refer to a violent clash between Spanish conquerors and Indigenous peoples during the period of Spanish colonization in the Americas. In the text, the Spanish attack is described, noting that the Spaniards targeted unarmed musicians and singers, killing them first, followed by the spectators. This extensive slaughter took place in what is referred to as the 'Sacred Patio' and continued for a period of three hours.
Following this, the Spaniards proceeded to slaughter those performing mundane tasks within the temple, thus extinguishing numerous lives indiscriminately.
The specific 'challenge' between a missionary and 'sacred men' mentioned in the student's question, however, does not appear to be explicitly contained within the passages provided.
