Although the Athenians were unprepared for war, they had these things in their favor. True of False? The Athenians had the home advantage. They were fighting to protect their homes and families. They had a strong general—Miltiades—who could analyze the enemy and find weaknesses during battle. They had a special fighting formation called a phalanx. Moving in a tightly packed group with their shields held together to form a solid wall, they blocked the Persians' arrows and advanced close enough to use their own weapons.

True.

The statement says that the Athenians had the home advantage, they were fighting to protect their homes and families, they had a strong general named Miltiades, and they had a special fighting formation called a phalanx. All of these are true and are advantages that the Athenians had in their favor when they were unprepared for war.
