for question 19:
Most ancient Greeks thought that everyday events like rain, common illness or the rising and setting of the sun were done by gods and spirits. Eventually the Greeks thought that their might be something else causing these things so they began looking for natural causes. Greek scientists, mostly mathematicians, philosophers, biologists and, physicists changed the way people viewed and understood the natural world around them starting from simple observations and measurements of the objects around them. Soon after that, their observations started becoming experiments and analysis.
The statement that best explains why direct democracy worked in ancient Athen is C. The city-state's population of citizens was small
Direct democracy is a type of democracy where the citizens of a country are directly involved in the affairs of their state, through decision making that affects policy.
This system is not ideal in a country or city-state where the population is large, because then, what would be required is representative democracy where each geopolitical zone would choose a representative to make decisions for them.
