c greeks were a very superstitious and gullible group of people.
d they were one of a few groups

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze lines 6 - 9. Line 6 mentions Greeks in Italy and learning from them. Lines 7 - 9 talk about guardians (Lares/Penates) related to their life. Option A focuses on "everyday life revolving around worship" but the text doesn't emphasize "everyday life" as revolving around it. Option B: The mention of guardians (related to gods) and their role in life shows gods were important. Option C: "Superstitious and gullible" is not supported (the text is about cultural/religious practices, not superstition or gullibility). Option D is incomplete. So B is correct as it aligns with the importance of gods in their society/life.

Answer:

B. Gods were an important part of the Greek society and life.
