Answer:

The Greek view of history was not very accurate. The lesson referred to the example of witnessing a parade from the outside. The Greeks observed the events in an everyday progression of things, characters, events, and incidents, while the Hebrews viewed way more than just that.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you did not include the examples of vantage point and cyclical patterns mentioned in the lesson, we can comment on the following.

The Greek viewed of history was not as accurate as the Hebrew view of history in that the Greeks considered history as a cyclical turn of events from the perspective of a witness. The lesson referred to the example of witnessing a parade from the outside. The Greeks observed the events in an everyday progression of things, characters, events, and incidents.

On the other hand, the Hebrew people acted under God's will, trying to always follow the decision of God's motives, although they could not understand them.
