Someone here will be able to check your answers once you post what YOU THINK.

Answer 2

Either for the first question, I think it would be A or B.

For the second question. I think it has to be either A or C...

Any thoughts?

Answer 3

I studied all this long ago, so yes, I know the answers.

Please read and re-read your text so you are not guessing between two answers for each question.

Answer 4

Fine. I strongly believe 1 is B and 2 is A.

Answer 5

Yes, 1 is B.

You’ll need to rethink 2.

Answer 6

Is it C?

I think so, yes.

It gets confusing because whoever this “Old Oligarch” was, thinks the common people should have more say in running Athens, he admits that the elite know what they’re doing.

Answer 8

Alright. I'll give it go. Thank you very much.

Answer 9

You’re welcome.
