Read the excerpt below about the Parthenon, then answer the question. In Greece, balance and order were important principles. The Greeks believed that
everything around them happened for a reason. They wanted to find out this reason
and discover the order of the world around them. Their buildings were beautiful, but
they do not overflow with frivolity or emotion. Instead, Greek buildings define order.
The balance and order that we see in the Parthenon echo the principles of Greek
government. In Greece, the polis, or "city-state", was ruled by the people in a
democracy. Greek citizens debated the actions to be taken by the government. This
was very different from a monarchy where kings, queens, or emperors ruled the
people. The citizens within the city-state ran their own government. This system of
government would require balance-no one person could become too powerful. It
would also require order so that the government would not crumble.
Which best describes how the order and balance of the Parthenon exemplify the
values of the Greek city-state democracy?

When the architects designed the Parthenon, there was an emphasis on order and balance. In a Democratic government order and balance are vital in keeping power evenly distributed to the people.  

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, the Parthenon was a symbol of the balance (to avoid the concentration of power) and order (required for the government to be stable) of the Greek government and its democratical values.  

Constructed on the Acropolis of Athens, the Parthenon was built in the golden age of Greek democracy.

the discoverers and explorers: 1. natives showed jedediah smith the way. 2. william sublette was the first cross it with a caravan. 3.joel walker and his family were the frist settlers to use it. the jumping off point: 1. founded in 1827 near where the missouri river flows into the mississippi. 2. by the 1840's, it was the most popular "jumping off" point for pioneers to stock their wagons with supplies. 3. missionaries from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints attempted to make independence their zion, or holy capital. the route west: 1. the first emigrants to oregon came by ship before the trail was established. 2. ships continued to to travel to oregon even after the overland migrations began, but they were not popular among the pioneers. 3. the fare for a sea journey to oregon was quite expensive--few pioneer families could afford it. i don't know the other three i'm sorry.
