Explanation:

Question 6

In ancient Greece, Athens (a center of democracy, culture, and trade) and Sparta (a militaristic city - state with a strong army) were the two most powerful city - states. Corinth was an important city but not as powerful as Athens and Sparta, and Delphi was a religious center rather than a powerful political - military city - state.

Leonidas ordered most Greek soldiers to withdraw because he knew the battle was lost. The Persian forces were overwhelming, and he wanted to save as many Greek soldiers as possible for future resistance, while he and a small group stayed to hold off the Persians for a while. The other options (reinforcements coming, soldiers wanting to retreat, storm coming) are not accurate reasons for his decision.

Answer:

B. Athens, C. Sparta
