Question 5 • 2026_SUMMER 305_CR_2109010-M/J World History B
Sparta’s army invaded Attica and devastated the farmland around Athens, hoping to draw the Athenians out to fight on land, where Sparta had the advantage. Athens generally avoided that land battle and relied on its fleet and its fortified connection to the port. So the correct statement is that Sparta ruined Athens’s farmland to try to get Athens to fight on land.
