Question

The people of Ancient Greece lived in small, isolated communities that eventually grew into large city-states. Why were these communities isolated from one another?
A.
The people wanted to avoid spreading diseases.
B.
The land was irregular and mountainous.
C.
The people spoke many different languages.
D.
The lands were often conquered by invaders

Answer 1

The correct answer is **B. The land was irregular and mountainous.** The geography of Ancient Greece, characterized by its mountainous terrain and irregular coastline, contributed to the isolation of communities. This made travel and communication between different areas difficult, leading to the development of independent city-states.
