The larger particles (boulders, etc.) not broken down during transport in the glacier because of the slow speed of glacier and abrasion.

Explanation:

When a mountain glacier start moving from mountain towards valley it creates some sorts of landforms by following some methods like abrasion, attrition etc. Moraine formed as a depositional land form in front, back, parallel and side pf a glacier. It refers to the accumulation of sediments ranging from large boulders to small particles at the front or at the end of a glacier.

The large boulders do not break down in smaller partcles as the followed the process of abrasion where friction takes place between glacier and its valley floor. Unless and untill the collision between two large boulders occur the boulders would not broke down.

What dictated the division of ancient Greece into many small, independent city states?

The one answer that I am missing among the options, but which is the correct one is: the geography of the region ( I assume that that's what was instead of the "7" in the first option).

It was very mountainous, with valleys and islands on which people lived -meaning there was a natural separation between the different settlements.
