Which statement most likely represents the view of a citizen of ancient Athens visiting Sparta?
"The government and society in Sparta are so strict. The people have little voice in government." Athenians were a lot more artsy than Spartans, so a statement could be, "Wow, these Spartans are really militaristic."

In essence, the two cities were complete opposites, so any statement showing the opposing opinions should work.
