1)mass migration refers to a large movement of people from one place to another.
2)The phrase bring the darkness as used by Kabil, suggests that the potential impact of the migrants could lead to negative consequences for the area they are moving into.
3)In the sentence the place was almost deserted the word deserted implies that the environment in Tikal is largely empty or abandoned.
Silver:
1)The two traders mentioned in the text are Kabil and another unnamed trader. They returned from the cities of Calakmul and Palenque.
2)While Kabil was on the road, he overheard alarming news about the increasing number of migrants heading towards Tikal, which raised concerns about the potential impact on their city.
3)In response to the migrants, the council and high priest are reportedly holding meetings to discuss strategies and actions to address the situation, likely focusing on how to manage or respond to the influx of people.
