Answer:

The question is referring to the occupations that were commonly carried out by Metics in Ancient Athens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metics were either freed slaves, or foreigners living in Athens. They were in the middle of the Athenian social hierarchy, above slaves, but below Athenian citizens, and as a result, had a combination of rights and duties.

They often work in menial jobs as servants, miners, carpenters, hunters, or cooks. Some of them also became policemen.
