How was participation in government limited in Athenian democracy? (A) Not all male citizens were allowed to go to the Assembly.
(B)People could not vote directly on laws and issues.
(C)Citizens had to pay the government in order to vote.
(D)Women and enslaved people could not participate in government.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."

the correct answer is d

answer; an active listener;

male citizens in athens could vote on all the decisions that affected the city and serve on juries. however, democracy was not open to everyone. citizen women and children were not allowed to vote. slaves and foreigners living in athens (known as metics) were banned from participating in government.
