"secular" basically means worldly--anything that isn't spiritually or religiously inclined. examples of "secularism" might be self-indulgence of alcohol or erotic material, or just enjoying certain human pleasures that have no religious reward, such as gourmet food.
humanism basically put humans above all else. they set aside the biblical stories that had religious value and started focusing on more mundane issues. they pointed out the goodness and usefulness of people rather than relying on religion. in this way, humanism promoted secularism because it was promoting humans themselves. it turned away from the strong traditional customs and encouraged humans to problem-solve on their own. it encouraged less reliance on religion and highlighted the abilities of people.
as a disclaimer, i'd like to add that this is just historical context i've gathered from my art history courses. further research might grant you more thorough observations!!
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the options. However, we can say the following.
what the governments of the city-state of Athens and the Roman Republic have in common was that they were democracies. Of course, we are talking about the Roman Republic, because after the Republic, it began the times of the Roman Emperors.
In was first Solon, ruler of Athens, -the most important city-state in Greece- the one that started to recognize dome liberties for the Athenian people and made some reformations. But it was truly Cleisthenes, the one who allowed Athenian men to participate in elections to choose their rulers. So we can say that it was the origins of democracy, although in those Greek years is was a limited democracy.
