Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.

Why does the author include details about two types
of tunics?
The basic article of clothing was the tunic. There were
two types. The exomis, worn by slaves and those
doing manual work, was fastened at the left shoulder
with a pin or knot, leaving the right shoulder bare, and
was tied at the waist with a girdle. The chiton was a
more refined version, fastened at both shoulders.
O to demonstrate that new fashions were important in
refined Greek culture
O to show that clothing style depended on a person's
role in society
to illustrate that women and men wore different
kinds of clothing
O to explain that Greek-style tunics were also worn by
people in other societies

Answer:

Option B. To show that clothing style depended on a person's

role in society

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is option b, because in the passage it said that the slaves wore

"The exomis, the exomis, was fastened at the left shoulder with a pin or knot, leaving the right shoulder bare, and was tied at the waist with a girdle." For this tunic was more open, and to show that the slaves were at the bottom of the society.

The commoners, or the city-state people wore

"The chiton was a more refined version, and fastened at both shoulders." For the tunic was more closed, and appropriate, for those who wore them.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
