The statement "Greek comedy and tragedy arose from religious ceremonies and rites," is TRUE.
Ancient Greek comedy constituted one of the final three main dramatic forms in the theatre of classical Greece (the others being tragedy and the satyr play). Athenian comedy is conventionally splited into three periods: Old Comedy, Middle Comedy, and New Comedy.
Tragedy is a sort of drama based on human suffering that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences.
