Answer
A
Women had few rights and freedoms.
B
The military ran all aspects of life in the city-state.
C
The government was a direct democracy run by citizens.
D
Education was focused on creating well-rounded citizens.
E
Members of all four social classes participated in the government.

Explanation

Athenian women had few legal and political rights, so statement A is correct. Athens developed a direct democracy in which eligible citizens voted and took part in government, and education aimed to develop well-rounded citizens through subjects such as music, athletics, and public speaking. The military did not run every part of Athenian life; that description fits Sparta more closely. Not all four social classes participated equally, and women, enslaved people, and foreign residents were excluded from citizenship.
