At the gallery

Gabriella went to the National Gallery to learn more about the ancient civilizations of the Maya and the Aztec. She was 30 __________ on their culture and did her best to plan her visit. The first room she entered was almost completely dark, a single spotlight shining on a stone pillar. The pillar was 31 __________ in some symbols that Gabriella couldn't understand but wished she could. She drifted past it to a sign on the disintegration of the Mayan empire. No one was sure why Mayan civilization had crumbled but everyone had ideas. The only thing the experts 32 __________ on was that in the year 800 A.D., the Mayan empire constituted one of the strongest empires on the planet, with enormous cities and an intricate culture. 33 __________, by the time the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the civilization was a shadow of its former self. The era of the Aztecs had begun.

Gabriella continued wandering through the rooms until she 34 __________ a massive tomb. Edging away from it, Gabriella ran into someone behind her. "Oh! I'm sorry!" she said. The person, a tall older woman, was dressed in black with a large black hat, which she was now removing to smooth her dishevelled hair. "The fault is all mine," the woman in black said, politely. She stood there, silently, 35 __________ at Gabriella. Gabriella felt that her good manners 36 __________ her to continue the conversation.
"Do you like the Aztec culture?" she asked.
