The correct answers are letter A and C.

During antiquity, Greece was divided into city-states. Each, due to its cultural diversity, had autonomy and its own way of governing. While Sparta prepared its youth for war, sending them as a child into exile, instructing them with military tactics and physical training; Athens encouraged the intellect and gained great prominence in the theater with the development of the genres tragedy and comedy (representations of real life as a form of entertainment and information). Athens also excelled in architecture, with innovative buildings such as the Parthenon, a temple named after the goddess Athena; and in philosophy, with the thinkers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
