Explanation:

Question 22:

The question is about a form of government where people in mass meetings make decisions. This is a direct democracy, where citizens participate directly in decision - making, especially in assemblies. In ancient Athens, for example, the Athenian democracy had such mass meetings (the Assembly) where citizens voted on matters.

Question 23:

Greece has a geography of mountains and seas (or more specifically, the Greek peninsula is mountainous with many islands and a long coastline). The mountainous terrain and the presence of seas (like the Aegean Sea) caused people to settle near the sea (or coasts). The proximity to the sea led to occupations like fishing, sailing, and trading as the sea provided resources and a means of transportation for trade.

Question 24:

Greek colonies promoted trade, cultural diffusion, and the spread of Greek ideas (or also could be agriculture in some colonies, but trade and cultural exchange are key). As the Greeks established colonies around the Mediterranean and Black Sea, they traded goods (like wine, olive oil from Greece and other resources from colonies), and also spread Greek culture, language, and political ideas to the areas they colonized.

Question 25 (assuming the misspelled “<op+arta” is Sparta):

Sparta focused on military training (or warfare) and oligarchy (a form of government with a small group ruling) and a strong military - based society. The Spartans had a highly militarized society, with boys trained from a young age for war, and the government was an oligarchy with a few elites in power. Athens focused on democracy (the development of democratic institutions, with the Assembly, Council of 500, etc.) and culture (philosophy, art, literature, with figures like Socrates, Plato, and great architects and artists). Athens was a center of learning and democratic innovation, while Sparta was a military - focused state.

Answer:

1. direct democracy
2. mountains and seas (or the Greek landscape with mountains and a long coastline); the sea (or coasts)
3. trade; cultural diffusion; the spread of Greek ideas (answers may vary, other possible answers: agriculture, colonization)
4. (Assuming “<op+arta” is Sparta) military training; oligarchy (or warfare; a strong military - based society); democracy; culture (or democratic governance; artistic and philosophical development)
