Metics were foreign residents in ancient Greek city-states who were free individuals with limited rights and protections, while slaves were individuals who were considered property and had no rights or legal status. Metics could engage in trade and pay taxes, while slaves were owned by others and performed labor or services under coercion.

Was it possible for slaves or metics in ancient Greece to improve their status in society?

Only for slaves was it possible to improve their status in society. Occasionally, a master would pay to set a skilled slave up in business. He would receive a share of the profits in return. Some of these wage earning slaves were able to save up and buy their freedom. However, freed slaves could never become citizens or metics.

Resident alien in ancient Greece without citizen rights?

Only male citizens of a city-state had rights. Women, children, non-citizens, aliens and slaves had no rights. Resident aliens (Metics) did have privileges according to beneficial contributions they made to the city. But these were not rights. Metics were expected to turn out in defence of the city when necessary as a quid pro quo for those privileges. Athens eg had a separate regiment of metics who were expected to fight very well to demonstrate their appreciation.
