Hi, I'm Maarit, and welcome to Xcanatun, my favorite city in Mexico.

Our village's main language is Spanish. The Yucatec Mayan language is still spoken by the elders, but my friends and I know just a few words.
After school I practice pok-a-tok. Pok-a-tok is an ancient Maya game in which you hit a basketball size rubber ball with your hips, thighs, and chest. You can't use your hands. The goal is to hit the ball into a stone hoop. The Maya practiced every day because they could face horrible consequences if they lost.
Based on the text, what is true?
Ancient customs are disappearing.
Exercise and language are honored.
Dialects and sports are rare.
Competition and greed are penalized.

Answer:

I think it might be ancient customs are disappearing.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the second option, I would expect honor to be mentioned. For the third option, only one culture was specified, meaning you can't make a general assumption. The last option has nothing to do with the paragraph.

Hope this helped!
