The ancient Greek society was a mixture of slaves and free people. Slaves did not have any legal rights. According to records found in the General State Archives of Greece, the slaves lived with their owners and were rarely paid. Most slaves were either taken as prisoners of war or were bought as slaves. Some of the slaves were skilled craftsmen, but this did not guarantee pay from their masters. What makes the passage seem credible?
A. The passage is short and easy to read, despite being negative.
B. The passage states a credible source, the General State Archives of Greece.
C. The passage reflects very poorly on the ancient Greek society.
D. The passage seems to be written by an experienced historian.

Explanation:
Slavery was an accepted practice in ancient Greece, as in other societies of the time. Some Ancient Greek writers (including, most notably, Aristotle) described slavery as natural and even necessary. This paradigm was notably questioned in Socratic dialogues; the Stoics produced the first recorded condemnation of slavery.[2]

Athens had the largest slave population, with as many as 80,000 in the 6th and 5th centuries BC, with an average of three or four slaves per household, except in poor families. Slaves were legally prohibited from participating in politics, which was reserved for citizens.

The chattel slave is an individual deprived of liberty and forced to submit to an owner, who may buy, sell, or lease them like any other chattel.

Documentation is disjointed and very fragmented, focusing primarily on the city-state of Athens. No treatises are specifically devoted to the subject, and jurisprudence was interested in slavery only as much as it provided a source of revenue. Greek comedies and tragedies represented stereotypes, while iconography made no substantial differentiation between slaves and craftsmen.
