Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
While many associate chocolate with Switzerland or Belgium, its fascinating history begins much earlier in Mesoamerica. The Olmec civilization, residing in present-day Mexico, were likely the first to cultivate cacao trees around 1500 BC. They consumed cacao beans, the source of chocolate, in a bitter drink called "xocolatl" - meaning “bitter water” - far different from the sweet treats we enjoy today.
The Mayans, inheriting this tradition, considered cacao sacred. They used it in religious ceremonies, as currency, and even believed it possessed mystical properties. Mayan writings describe elaborate rituals involving cacao, highlighting its cultural significance. Interestingly, unlike the Olmecs, they preferred their xocolatl spiced with chilli peppers and herbs.
When the Aztecs rose to power, they too embraced cacao. However, lacking suitable land for its cultivation, they acquired cacao beans through trade or tribute from conquered territories. The Aztecs associated xocolatl with the god Quetzalcoatl and reserved its consumption for the elite, warriors, and during special occasions.
It was only after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century that chocolate, in a sweetened and spiced form, began its journey to Europe. This marked the beginning of chocolate''s global popularity and the eventual development of the diverse range of chocolate products we have today.
