Read the passage, then answer the question that follows.
As ever, sugar work was brutally hard. The workers woke early, and for the first few months they were “seasoned”—learning the numbing work of hoeing or weeding or loading the barges with cut cane. After they were broken in, they might take on other tasks or, if they were lucky, get a place at the factory. The Indians’ contracts called for seven hours’ work for about twenty-four cents a day. During the first few months, though, eight cents a week was deducted for food rations. And no matter what the words said on a piece of paper, sugar workers did not work just seven hours. More often than not, they labored as long as there was light, in the broiling heat. And though they might not be shackled or whipped like slaves, their lives were completely controlled by the terrifying overseers.

One of the many reasons why Cortes and Pizarro were able to defeat the Aztecs and the Incas was because " d. The Europeans carried deadly diseases which decimated the populations of both the Aztecs and the Incas and thus undermined their political and military order," since disease actually killed more than weapons.
