select the answer that best traces how the minoan and etruscan civilizations led to the foundation of later classical civilizations in those areas. (1 point)
the minoans and etruscans destroyed their cities in order to force the greeks and romans to build entirely new cities.
the minoans and etruscans conquered wide tracts of territory and later turned those areas over to the greeks and romans.
the minoans and etruscans worked deliberately with greeks and romans to pass down their knowledge and help them establish similar cities of their own.
the minoans and etruscans established and revitalized cities and set in place certain cultural characteristics that classical civilizations would later adopt.

Explanation:

The Minoans and Etruscans had their own advanced cultures. They established and revitalized cities, and their cultural elements like art, architecture, and social - structures influenced later classical civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans. They did not destroy their cities to force new construction, nor did they just conquer and turn over territory. Working "deliberately" in the way described in one option is not well - attested. The most accurate is that they set in place cultural characteristics for later adoption.

Answer:

The Minoans and Etruscans established and revitalized cities and set in place certain cultural characteristics that classical civilizations would later adopt.
