Correct choices: 2 and 3.
- The Athenian people lost one-third of their population — True. A devastating plague (430–426 BCE) during the war killed roughly a third of Athens’ population, including Pericles.
- The Golden Age of Greece began to decline — True. The war ended Athens’ cultural and political dominance and left the Greek city‑states weakened and divided, marking the end of the classical “Golden Age.”
- The Greek empire doubled in size — False. Athens’ empire (the Delian League) contracted and lost power after defeat.
- The military strength of Greece increased — False. The war left most Greek city‑states exhausted and militarily weakened, paving the way for Macedonian ascendancy.
