Solution

Answer

The answer is a Greek city and surrounding villages and farms.

Explanation

Option 1: a hill on which a Greek city was built

This option refers to an "acropolis," which is a specific part of a Greek city, typically a fortified hilltop.

Option 2: the public area of a Greek city

This option describes the "agora," which is the central public space in ancient Greek city-states used for assemblies and markets.

Option 3: a Greek city and surrounding villages and farms

This is the correct definition of a "city-state" or "polis." A polis was a self-governing city and its surrounding territory, including villages and farmland. It was the fundamental political unit in ancient Greece.

Option 4: the fortified central buildings of a Greek city

This option refers to the "acropolis" or other fortified structures within a city, but it does not encompass the entire concept of a city-state or polis.
