  1. a. Alexandria, Egypt

    b. an agora

    b. an unbalanced government

    b. because of the preeminent role Greece played in its development


  2. The heart of a Roman city was called the forum.  

    Agoras were Greek.

  3. Tyler's right, except last question:

    d is none of the above, because Classical Greek civilization is the time from 500BCE to 350BCE (roughly), from the time of Alexander the Great, when the Hellenistic period occurred.

    The word means 'greek-like' because it blended Greek culture with Persian culture.

    'Hellenistic' is the type of ancient Greek art we most sympathize with, because the topics showed a fascination with s*x and violence (like the modern era), and their art showed an emotional appeal.
