(do) what? choose
when? choose
where? choose
why? choose

Explanation:

First Question (Why did the Greeks call people...):

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect as there's no historical basis for Greeks being bullies who name - called.
• The second option is wrong because the difficulty of voting is not related to the term "idiots" in this context.
• The third option is correct. In Greek democracy, active participation in public life (including voting) was highly valued. People who didn't vote were seen as not participating in important decisions like choosing leaders and making laws, so they were called "idiots".
• The fourth option is incorrect as "idiots" was not a compliment but a term for those not participating in public life.

Answer:

By not voting, those people were choosing to not be involved in important choices like who is running their country and making their laws.
