Answer:
The narrator realizes that the god was a man.
Explanation:
The paragraph you were given is the following:
At first I was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. He was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. His age was neither young nor old—I could not tell his age. But there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. You could see that he would have not run away. He had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. But it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. I knew, that, if I touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face.
The correct option is the third one. Initially, he was afraid to approach, but then the fear left him and he decided to continue observing the god, who turned out to be a man and died along with his city. There is nothing telling us that the narrator is feeling as powerful as a god, or that he distrusts the spirits. The only mention of a spirit is the person's spirit, the one that must not be lost.
<em>The Sports Gene </em>was written by David Epstein and published in 2013.
This book supports the idea that sports success has to do with both 'nature and nurture', that both genetics and training are highly influential, but also that each of them cannot bring what the other does.
The more a person practises, the better he/she will be. But up to a point. No one can achieve something that his/her body is not biologically or genetically prepared to do. This idea is in disagreement with other authors such as Anders Ericsson, who supported that training mattered more than innate talents and that could offset genetic inclinations.

The quote "you become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed" was taken from the book <em>The Little Prince</em>, by the author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
One character, the fox, tells the main character of the book, the Little Prince, that he is forever responsible for someone whose life he has touched and somehow changed. In this context, the verb "tame" means conquering someone's heart, little by little.
Overall, the quote means we should always be kind and thoughtful towards others, never taking their love and affection for granted, being considerate of their feelings and emotions.
