Ancient greek tragedy developed from
a. religious ceremonies
b. a need for entertainment
c. aristotle’s philosophy
d. dramatic competitions

The correct answer is A. religious ceremonies. Tragedies came as an evolution of plays that came before them that were made in glory of gods, mostly Dionysus. Aristotle's theories did not influence the creation of tragedies, but rather were made as a response to tragedies. There was no real need for entertainment then since the people were generally entertained.
