This is a very tough question but I think B is the correct choice. Electoral vote is a type of REPRESENTATIVE democracy whereas, ancient greece had DIRECT democracy (so unless our founding fathers sort of saw how direct democracy brought more trouble than good and sort of tweaked it for good -that could count as an influence but it certainly does not count as beginning in ancient Greece. Because, to my knowledge, ancient Greece did not have electoral vote - everyone casted their own ballet for their candidate, which is why it was DIRECT democracy. In US, we have representative democracy, where we select candidates who then make decisions for us.)
Secular governments are usually chill with everyone's religious views and ancient greece is not know for killing people based on religion (on contrary they were pretty chill with people of different thoughts/religions), thus I think best bet is B.
What was that "wrong idea"? What is the impact of the nuance of the word "handled" in the following excerpt: "I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew"? It shows the Africans were viewed as objects instead of human beings.
