1. The correct answer is D. A small group rules.
To arrive at this answer, you can break down the term "oligarchy": "oligo" means "few" or "small," and "archy" refers to "rule" or "government." Therefore, in an oligarchy, a small group of people holds the power and governs the society.
2. The correct answer is D. Rule by a king or queen.
To find the definition of monarchy, you can break down the term: "mon" means "one" or "single," and "archy" refers to "rule" or "government." Therefore, in a monarchy, a single ruler, usually a king or queen, holds the power and governs the society.
3. The correct answer is D. Absence of any law and order.
To understand anarchy, you can break down the term: "an" means "without," and "archy" refers to "rule" or "government." Therefore, anarchy refers to a state of society where there is a lack of any government or authority, resulting in a absence of law and order.
4. The correct answer is B. Ruled by citizens.
To understand democracy, you can break down the term: "demo" refers to "people" or "citizens," and "cracy" means "rule." Therefore, in a democracy, the power lies in the hands of the citizens, who have the right to participate in decision-making processes and choose their leaders.
