When Athens began to emerge as a Greek city state in the ninth century, it was a poor city, built on and surrounded by undesirable land, which could support only a few poor crops and olive trees. As it grew it was forced to import much of its food, and while it was near the centre of the Greek world, it was far from being a vital trading juncture like Corinth. Its army was, by the standards of cities such as Sparta, weak. Yet somehow it became the most prominent of the Greek city states, the one remembered while contemporaries such as Sparta are often forgotten. It was the world's first democracy of a substantial size (and, in some ways, though certainly not others, one of the few true democracies the world has ever seen), producing art and fine architecture in unprecedented amounts. It became a centre of thinking and literature, producing philosophers and playwrights like Socrates and Aristophanes. But most strikingly of all, it was the one Greek city that managed to control an empire spanning the Aegean sea. During the course of this essay I will attempt to explain how tiny Athens managed to acquire this formidable empire, and why she became Greece's most prominent city state, rather than cities which seemed to have more going for them like Sparta or Corinth.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I completely agree with the idea that Television has helped professional sport immensely. It has allowed millions of dollars in advertising to be spent on sports that otherwise may never have got them.
There are many corporations that have signed millionaire contracts to put their names on the uniform of the athletes or to sponsor the sports season, even to buy an advertisement in the stadiums or arenas, because they know that their contests or seasons are broadcasted through television.
The most notorious examples are professional football (NFL), professional basketball (NBA), pro baseball (MLB), pro hockey (NHL), and pro soccer (MLS).
Just to give an example, the sports network ESPN pays the NFL the incredible sum of $1.9 billion per season to broadcast its football games. It is said that pro sports is a ge¿reat business and this number confirms the statement.
The correct answer is B; Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Further Explanation:
During the Prohibition, there were two groups of people the "wets" and the "drys." The wets were strictly "anti-Prohibitionists." The "drys" wanted the Prohibition.
The wets got what they wanted when the 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933. It had started in 1920. The wets bootlegged liquor and sold it underground. They would cross borders with loads of liquor and would flaunt the drinking in front of the drys.
