Detailed explanation-1: -The lack of suitable farmland forced Greeks to trade with others. Which statement about the commercial activities in ancient Greece is most accurate? Their population grew to high (too many people), so there was not enough farmland to provide enough food for everyone.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the most important ways that the ancient Greek people were able to regulate their trade was by using coins. Coins allowed for the standardization of prices over a large geographical area, making it easier for merchants to establish a set value for their goods.
Detailed explanation-3: -Farming was difficult in Ancient Greece primarily due to the geography. Greece is not a low, flat place, akin to modern Kansas or Nebraska. Instead, it is a region of mountains and islands, where there is relatively little open plainslands for growing crops.
Detailed explanation-4: -Access to the sea meant that Ancient Greece could grow economically. That’s because being on the sea allows for many ports to be built for trade. The Greeks also became good mariners and were able to use their skills to trade with other city-states.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ancient Greeks farmed a variety of crops and animals for food, including wheat, barley, olives, grapes, fruit trees, and vegetables. They mainly farmed to feed their own families. One main farming method they used was crop rotation, which is cycling a few crops on the same field to restore nutrients.
