Answer 1

Sorry If this does not help

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between Athens and Sparta is that Athens was a form of democracy, whereas Sparta was a form of oligarchy. Athens and Sparta are two prominent Greek rival city-states. Though these are not very far away from each other, there are many differences between these two states. Athens was the centre for arts, learning and philosophy while Sparta was a warrior state.

Answer 2

B. Men in Athens could directly participate in government

Step-by-step explanation:

Both had an army, both were large city-states, and men/boys in both Sparta and Athens stayed in the army for a large part of their lives.

Men in Sparta could not directly participate in government because their governing style consisted of two kings and their council of 28 men.
