The Inca were made up of two allied groups named what?

• A. Two allied groups: Ketchua and Imara
• B. A single empire
• C. Several rival tribes
• D. A royal family and its generals

Answer: (A)

This question is about how the Inca state began. The Inca were formed from the alliance of two large Andean communities: the Quechua-speaking people centered around the city of Cuzco and the Aymara-speaking communities around Lake Titicaca. These two groups joined forces and, over time, the Inca wrapped many other groups into a single empire, using Quechua as the common language and building a centralized and expansive state.

So the best answer reflects that union of Quechua and Aymara peoples, rather than a single ethnic group, rival tribes, or a simple royal family with generals.
