Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince. There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them.

Read the passage below and answer the question.“I suppose if [Sparta] were to become desolate, and [only] the temples and the foundations of the public buildings were left . . . [people would not believe the extent of] her power. Even though [the Spartans] occupy two-fifths of Peloponnese and lead the whole . . . [with] numerous allies beyond . . . because the city is neither built in a compact form, nor is it adorned with magnificent temples and public edifices (but instead is composed of villages after the old fashion of Hellas) there would be an impression of inadequacy. . . If Athens were to suffer the same misfortune, I suppose that any inference would make her power seem twice as great as it is.”From: Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War.Which of the following could be used as evidence to support why the cities of Sparta and Athens looked so different, despite both being powerful states?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A)   Thucydides was from Athens, so he invented the differences to insult SpartaAThucydides was from Athens, so he invented the differences to insult Sparta(Choice B)   Sparta’s empire relied economically less on trade than did Athens’s empireBSparta’s empire relied economically less on trade than did Athens’s empire(Choice C)   Social hierarchies between citizens and unfree workers existed in Sparta, but not AthensCSocial hierarchies between citizens and unfree workers existed in Sparta, but not Athens(Choice D)   Unlike Athens, Sparta had allies to trade with, so the city didn't need to develop itself DUnlike Athens, Sparta had allies to trade with, so the city didn't need to develop itself

Read this passage:In ancient times, a population of 140,000 people made Athens the largest city in Greece. It was located in Greece's Attica region, near the Bay of Phaleron. Its economy was fueled by agriculture, and Athens was an important center for trade. Its culture was forward-looking and democratic, and military service was optional for its citizens. Located 150 miles inland on the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece, Sparta had a population of 100,000, and its economy also depended on agriculture.
