How did the structure of government differ between Athens and Sparta?

a.) Athens was run by the citizens, while Sparta had two kings and a council.
b.) Athens was run by military leaders, while Sparta limited the military’s power.
c.) Athens was ruled by a group of elders, while Sparta gave power to the people.
d.) Athens was ruled by a king, while Sparta divided power between citizens and an assembly.

Answer: D

Explanation: Sparta was ruled by two kings, who ruled until they died or were forced out of office. Athens was ruled by archons, who were elected annually. Thus, because both parts of Athens' government had leaders who were elected, Athens is said to have been the birthplace of democracy. ... Athenian life was a creative wonderland.

Read the following text:

A lady in a fine gown and hat stepped out of the carriage and strode up to the door of 221B Baker Street. She sniffled and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Taking a deep breath, she rapped on the door of the world's most famous detective.

Mrs. Hudson answered the door and ushered the visitor to Sherlock Holmes' flat. The detective stood tall and confident, gazing at Mrs. Blakely with an inquisitive smile. He invited Mrs. Blakely to enter. Mrs. Hudson offered her some tea. After using the tea to warm her hands, Mrs. Blakely felt capable of explaining her situation. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Blakely had arrived home to find a masked individual robbing her house. When the mysterious figure heard her approach, he or she ran farther into the house and disappeared. All that remained was the black mask lying on the ground. Mrs. Blakely's most prized possession, a massive purple gem, also had disappeared. While Mrs. Blakely knew it would be useless to ask Holmes to retrieve the gem, she wanted him to determine how the thief and gem had disappeared so completely.

Sherlock Holmes listened to the tale and agreed to visit the crime scene. The safe was open and empty, but it was not damaged. There was no visible entry into the room where the safe was kept: the windows were sealed, and the door was not damaged. Mrs. Blakely led Sherlock Holmes farther into the house and stopped in the middle of a hallway of old portraits. There were no windows, and the only door was at the other end of the hallway.

"This spot is where I found the black mask," Mrs. Blakely explained.

Sherlock Holmes inspected the hallway with a wrinkled brow. He walked up and down the hallway. He put his hand on the smooth floor. Then, Sherlock's brow smoothed and a glint entered his eyes. Turning to the wall, he pressed the expensive portrait into the wall.

"What are you doing to my painting?" Mrs. Blakely gasped.

"Calm down, Mrs. Blakely," Holmes replied. "The solution to this mystery is staring you in the face. There is no sign of a break in, so the thief has access to the house. The thief disappeared in this spot without using the far door, so there must be a hiding spot within the walls or floor. There are scratches on the ground near this portrait. I felt a draft when I reached down to test the floor. It's elementary, Mrs. Blakely. The thief is hidden in the wall behind this portrait."

Holmes pushed the portrait harder into the wall. The wall moved, revealing a hiding place. Sherlock Holmes lit a candle. Its light revealed a sleeping maid with a gigantic purple gem clasped in her hands. The mystery of the disappearing thief was solved.

If you pick up a metal ruler, it usually feels cold to your hand. A wood or plastic ruler will feel warmer. But if these rulers were all sitting on your desk, then they are all room temperature. So why does one feel colder than the others? It all comes down to a property of matter called conduction. Conduction  measures how well a material (such as metal, wood, or plastic) transfers energy. The more conductive a material is, the better it transfers energy. For example, good electrical conductors transfer electricity well. Good thermal conductors transfer thermal energy well. In class, you learned about thermal conduction. When two substances with different thermal energies touch, thermal energy is always transferred from the substance with more thermal energy to the substance with less thermal energy until the thermal energy in the two substances is equal. It’s kind of like the metal, glass, and plastic are soaking up as much thermal energy as they can from the water. Metal heats more quickly because it is a better conductor than plastic or glass: it can How will you do this? How will you keep thermal energy from transferring out  of your cooker? Images, right to left:  / Public Domain - publicdomainvectors soak up thermal energy more quickly than the others. But it only does this until it is the same temperature as the water. Let's consider the rulers again. How does conduction help explain why the metal feels colder? Well, your hands are at body temperature, about 37°C (98.6°F). They are kept warm by the blood in your veins and have more thermal energy than the rulers. The rulers are at room temperature, which is probably between 20 and 30°C. When you touch each ruler, they begin absorbing thermal energy from your hand. Since the metal is a better conductor, it will take your thermal energy more quickly than the plastic or wood. The experience of losing thermal energy makes your hand feel “cold”. What if instead of a metal ruler, you were touching a big metal table? It would feel cold for much longer because there is so much more metal. It would take much more thermal energy to warm up to the same temperature as your body, meaning it would transfer a lot more thermal energy from your hand. This would make your hand feel quite chilly! How long it takes an object to change temperature depends on both the number of molecules in a substance and the thermal conductivity of the material it is made of.In your solar cooker, you will want to transfer as much thermal energy as possible to the food.​
