Answer: A. foolishness of people.

The author is describing the behaviour of the people. He tells us that the multitude of about two or three hundred people were pushing each other, elbowing and jostling, in order to get closer to the cylinder. These people are acting foolishly. Not only are they being rude and inconsiderate, but they are trying to get closer to an unknown object that could be very dangerous. This passage, therefore, states how foolish people can be.

What does the fact that Agatha feels she has to run away in order to avoid marriage reveal about Ancient Greek culture
zimovet [89]

Agatha feels she has to run away to avoid marriage because she doesn't have a choice. She is not allowed to choose who she marries. This shows that in Ancient Greek culture marriages were arranged for the women. They were not given a choice to marry for love. Also, this shows that marriage is something that is expected once a person reaches a certain age.
