Answer 1

The correct statement that accurately describes the type of government based on the characteristics provided in the chart is:

C. The Thirty was an oligarchy, the ecclesia was a democracy, and the Mycenaean Palace was a monarchy.

• The Thirty refers to a group of tyrannical rulers, which aligns with the definition of an oligarchy as they held power over others.
• The ecclesia, with its assembly where members could raise issues and concerns, fits the description of a democracy.
• The Mycenaean Palace system, with the wanax (king) and a council of elders (Gerousia), indicates a monarchical system.
