Answer 1

The characteristics of Greek Religion among the provided options are:

1. Polytheistic - Greek religion is fundamentally polytheistic, involving the worship of multiple gods and goddesses.

2. Believed that each God/Goddess represented a natural element or an abstract idea - Many deities in Greek mythology personified natural elements (like the sea or the harvest) and abstract concepts (like love or wisdom).

3. Zeus was a God - Zeus is one of the most important gods in Greek mythology, known as the king of the gods.

The statement "Deities are NOT active in the daily lives of the Citizens" is not characteristic of Greek religion, as the Greek gods were believed to significantly influence daily life, both positively and negatively.

Thus, the correct characteristics are: Polytheistic, Believed that each God/Goddess represented a natural element or an abstract idea, and Zeus was a God.
