The accurate descriptions of the Delian League are:
1. **Athens used force to keep city-states from withdrawing from the league.**
2. **The purpose of the league was to keep Persia from conquering Greece.**
The other two options ("Athens refused to contribute money or ships to the league." and "Sparta was the dominant city-state in the league.") are not accurate. Athens was a major contributor to the league, and it was the leading power within the Delian League, whereas Sparta was not part of the league and was the dominant city-state in the Peloponnesian League, which was in opposition to Athens.
