Answer 1

Sparse living accommodations are primarily associated with Sparta. Spartan society emphasized austerity and minimalism, valuing discipline and military prowess, which extended to their living conditions. While Athens had its own set of challenges and varying living conditions, it was generally more urban and developed compared to the austere lifestyle of Sparta. Therefore, the most accurate answer would be "Sparta."
