writing



democracy



monotheism



monarchy

Answer 1

B. Democracy is a major contribution of ancient Athens to Western civilization. The ancient Greeks were well known for being a democratic nation, which has traveled all the way to modern times. Democracy is an important political ideology - if it weren't for the Greeks, maybe we wouldn't be as equal (if we are equal) as we are today. 

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. A major contribution of ancient Athens to Western civilization would be democracy. Athens was a city in which the citizens had the right to select the leader or dispose him off if they think fit. This was actually the height of Democracy during that time.
