Read the excerpt below about the Parthenon, then answer the question.
In Greece, balance and order were important principles. The Greeks believed that
everything around them happened for a reason. They wanted to find out this reason
and discover the order of the world around them. Their buildings were beautiful, but
they do not overflow with frivolity or emotion. Instead, Greek buildings define order.
The balance and order that we see in the Parthenon echo the principles of Greek
government. In Greece, the polis, or "city-state", was ruled by the people in a
democracy. Greek citizens debated the actions to be taken by the government. This
was very different from a monarchy where kings, queens, or emperors ruled the
people. The citizens within the city-state ran their own government. This system of
government would require balance-no one person could become too powerful. It
would also require order so that the government would not crumble.
Which best describes how the order and balance of the Parthenon exemplify the
values of the Greek city-state democracy?
