Verbal (Reading Comprehension)

The victory of the small Greek democracy of Athens over the mighty Persian
empire in 490 B. C. is one of the most famous events in history. Darius, king
of the Persian empire, was furious because Athens had interceded for the
other Greek city-states in revolt against Persian domination. In anger the
king sent an enormous army to defeat Athens. He thought it would take
drastic steps to pacify the rebellious part of the empire. Persia was ruled by
one man.
In Athens, however, all citizens helped to rule. Ennobled by this participation,
Athenians were prepared to die for their city-state. Perhaps this was the
secret of the remarkable victory at Marathon, which freed them from Persian
rule. On their way to Marathon, the Persians tried to fool some Greek citystates by claiming to have come in peace. The frightened citizens of Delos
refused to believe this. Not wanting to abet the conquest of Greece, they fled
from their city and did not return until the Persians had left. They were wise,
for the Persians next conquered the city of Etria and captured its people.
Tiny Athens stood alone against Persia. The Athenian people went to their
sanctuaries. There they prayed for deliverance. They asked their gods to
expedite their victory. The Athenians refurbished their weapons and moved
to the plain of Marathon, where their little band would meet the Persians. At
the last moment, soldiers from Plataea reinforced the Athenian troops.
The Athenian army attacked, and Greek citizens fought bravely. The power of
the mighty Persians was offset by the love that the Athenians had for their
city. Athenians defeated the Persians in archery and hand combat. Greek
soldiers seized Persian ships and burned them, and the Persians fled in

terror. Herodotus, a famous historian, reports that 6400 Persians died,

compared with only 192 Athenians.
41. Athens had ____the other Greek city-states against the Persians.
a. refused help to
b. intervened on behalf of
c. Wanted to fight
d. given orders for all to fight
e. defeated
42. Darius took drastic steps to ___ the rebellious Athenians.
a. weaken
b. Destroy
c. Calm
d .Placate
e. answer not available
