Answer:
Cesar Chavez made people aware of the struggles of farm workers for better pay and safer working conditions. He succeeded through nonviolent tactics (boycotts, pickets, and strikes). Cesar Chavez and the union sought recognition of the importance and dignity of all farm workers.
Chavez's work and that of the United Farm Workers (the union he helped found) succeeded where countless efforts in the previous century had failed: improving pay and working conditions for farm laborers in the 1960s and 1970s, and paving the way for landmark legislation in 1975 that codified and guaranteed agricultural workers' right to unionize, bargain collectively with their employers and vote in secret-ballot elections in California.

Inca terrace farming and Aztec floating gardens are example of? Is the answer choice 1 (geography) or choice 3 (agriculture)
The correct answer is A. The ability of civilizations to adapt to their region's physical geography.
Explanation
Adaptive ability refers to the ability of an organism to adapt to the physical conditions of its environment. Humans are the best example of adaptability, for example during history civilizations have adapted to conditions such as cold and snow, heat and desert, wet coasts, high and dry environments among others. In the case of the Mesoamerican indigenous cultures, a sample of their adaptability are the cultivation terraces developed by the Incas as a sign of their adaptation to the rugged environment of the Andes mountains. In the case of the floating gardens of the Aztecs, it is a form of adaptation in which due to the existence of a large lake in their territory, they had to cultivate in floating gardens located on water to grow their food. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The ability of civilizations to adapt to their region's physical geography.
