I'm pretty sure that the answer to this question is letter A.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I do not agree with what John Green said.
John Green stated that it might have been better if the Persians beat the Greeks. His arguments were that the Persian life was not bad. Persians ruled prosperous cities. And he comments that life was not easy in ancient Greece if you were a woman or a slave.
Of course, Greece was not perfect and had many issues. But the Persia Empire also had its many issues too.
I think it was good that Greece won the Persian Wars. The Greek victory established a foundation of a classical time in which Greece "exported" the idea of democracy to other states, as well as the philosophical ideas of great thinkers of Athens. Arts, literature, sculpture, and architecture were other important Greek influences that transcended the test of time.
Arnold J. Toynbee (1889 – 1975) was a British and philosopher remembered for his great “Study of History” which is a big work of 12 volumes that analyze 21 civilizations; their rises and falls.
His work is a combination of philosophical and objective thoughts, so this insures the combination of facts that are analyzed from two perspectives, because he is using concrete historical events combined with his philosophical and empirical ideas. That is why many historians, philosophers, sociologists, political scientists are interested in his books and how civilizations emerged, grew, declined and dissolve themselves.
Modernist writers may have perceived the world as chaotic in the early part of the 20th century due to many events. These included things such as revolts and rebellions and World War I and many of which disrupted lives and caused great loss of life.
