As Greek city-states grew, political changes occurred, such as Ο
Α
A. nobles seized power from farmers
O
B. tyrants rose to rule many city-states
O
C. nobles seized power from the merchants
O
D. farmers seized power from the merchants

B. Tyrants rose to rule many city-states.

Explanation:

Political changes that came upon the city-states of the Greek nation led to many unrests and even major political turmoil. While the nobles toppled the kings and took power, the lesser and poorer farmers did not like the rule of these wealthy nobles. This was because of the bad treatment they were given by the nobles when they couldn't pay off their debts. And the loss of their lands further left them with no possession, which is why they did not want the nobles to rule.

On the other hand, the "illegal" citizens like the merchants and the artisans also supported the idea of change in the administration. All these political unrest led to the emergence of some tyrants who began to seize power in some city-states, which is also supported by the common people, rather than have them be under the nobles. This led to the tyrant rule of Greek city-states to about 500 BC.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
