Ill make brilliants to whoever answers correctly!

read passage,
In Mayan cities, the most important buildings were constructed around a plaza, or open area, in the center of the city. Common people, or workers and farmers, had their homes on the edges of the city. The most important and valued people, such as priests, government leaders, and skilled workers, lived in the center. Also in the center of the city were the buildings that citizens needed access to, such as places of worship and governmental buildings. Some places of worship were also built near the center of the city.

What is the central idea of the passage?

Temples in ancient Mayan cities were open to all people.
A central plaza was the most important place in Mayan cities.
Government buildings were the largest structures in Mayan cities.
Homes for Mayan workers were located near the city’s plaza.

I think the answer would be that the central plaza was the most important. The entire paragraph seems to be about how the center contains important people and things that all citizens needed access to, and that commoners lives on the outskirts of town.
