multiple choice question
the greek word polis means
fort
marketplace
country
city - state

Explanation:

The Greek word polis refers to the ancient Greek city-state, which was a self-governing political unit combining a city and its surrounding territory. The other options are incorrect: "fort" is not the meaning, "marketplace" refers to the agora, and "country" is too broad for the specific political entity of a polis.

Answer:

city-state
