Answer 2

The statement that best describes the relationship between the Perioci and the Helots is that the Helots did slave work for the Perioeci so that the Perioeci could focus on their military activities.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Helots were brought by the Spartans from the province of Messenia after conquering it during 640-620 BCE. They were the people who worked for the class of people named Perioeci and took care of their chores so that all the Perioecis could work in the all-time functional Spartan army.
• It can be said that Sparta could have a purely all-soldier army only because they had slaves brought from Messenia to take care of agriculture and other responsibilities.
