Answer 1

The correct answer that accurately identifies the social class hierarchy of Greek city-states is:

Aristoi
Perioikoi
Artisans
Laborers
Women
Foreigners

Explanation:

1. Aristoi: This class consisted of the aristocracy or nobles, who held the highest status and power in the city-state.
2. Perioikoi: These were free non-citizens often living around the city-state, having certain rights but lacking full citizenship.
3. Artisans: Skilled workers who contributed to the city's economy through crafts and trades, typically below the aristocracy.
4. Laborers: This group included unskilled workers and laborers who performed manual work, often having limited rights.
5. Women: Generally, women had fewer rights than men and were primarily responsible for household duties.
6. Foreigners: Often considered the lowest in social hierarchy, foreigners had limited rights and privileges compared to citizens.

This order reflects the typical hierarchy seen in many city-states, notably in places like Athens and Sparta.
