Can you please throw some light on question no.3?
How is the evidence in third para undermining the argument of the second para?
And what is wrong with option B?

Didn't get your doubt. The answer is C by the way:

C. It provides examples that support the position taken in the first sentence of the second paragraph.

Can you explain how C is the answer and not option B?

That's my doubt.

That's my doubt.
First sentence of the second paragraph: A closer examination of Aztec culture indicates that treating Aztec women's production in Mexico in such a manner (that women's production was not central to the demographic, economic, and political structures in sixteenth-century Mexico) would be a mistake.

Third paragraph then goes on to provide various examples that prove that Aztec women's production in Mexico indeed played a crucial role in organizing the flow of goods and services that sustained the Aztec state.

Hence, third para is supporting and not undermining (weakening) the argument presented in the second paragraph.

E. applying new evidence in a reevaluation of ethnohistoric documents

Does question 4 option choice E means reevaluation of content in the document ?? We are reevaluating the women's role in Aztec society basis the new evidences right/ from different lens? The content in the document is no where false or misleading.

Is my understanding correct?

As you suggest, this passage concerns our understanding of the role of women in Aztec society. The author is worried that interpretations of certain "ethnohistoric documents" which misapply "modern Western" ideas might underestimate Aztec women's importance.

Let's now consider (E):

Quote:
4. The passage is primarily concerned with

E. applying new evidence in a reevaluation of ethnohistoric documents
According to the passage, certain ethnohistoric documents have led to the false conclusion that women did not play an important role in Aztec society. The author's main purpose is to argue against this misconception.

So it's not the documents themselves that are being "reevaluated," but rather the implications of the documents. You could argue that the documents are being reinterpreted, but not reevaluated exactly. To evaluate something is to decide whether it's valuable or not. That's not really what's happening here.

Additionally, at no point is "new evidence" explicitly presented.

For all of those reasons, we can eliminate (E).

I hope that helps!
