Read the excerpt from The Ancient City. The long jump was the only jumping contest in Greek athletics and was quite different fr

om the modern long jump. It is depicted in a number of vase paintings. The contestant carried special weights (halteres) which he swung forward to give himself greater forward motion. One of these weights found at Olympia weighs over 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds). Evidence for how the jump was executed is confusing, but it is almost certain that the athlete did not make a long run-up. The recorded distances jumped (up to 16.66 metres/54½ feet), which are far in excess of the modern long jump record, suggest that it was almost certainly some kind of multiple jump. Which aspects of the ancient Greek long jump were different from the modern long jump? Check all that apply.
It was part of a sporting event.
There was no long run-up to the jump.
The jumper carried special weights.
The jumper made more than one jump.
Jumpers’ distances were recorded.

The answer is:

There was no long run-up to the jump.

The jumper carried special weights.  

The jumper made more than one jump.

In the excerpt from "The Ancient City," the author Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges makes reference to the long jump exhibited in ancient Greek athletics, which was quite different from modern long jump. For example, there is indication that the athletes did not run before performing the jump, so they probably executed numerous jumps. He also mentions that athletes moved forward special weights, called halteres, which provided impulse to the jump.

Write a short story about literally anything please make it at least 3 paragraphs
Savatey [412]

Inspired by The Secret, I decided that everything that I wasn’t happy with in my life was going to be replaced with a new beginning. I was tired of a dead marriage and relationships that kept me small and zapped my energy, basically a life that wasn’t fulfilling. I came across The Secret and watched the video and my inner me started to shift. I felt a fire starting to burn, a push forward, ideas sprouted, I became more creative and I started to take action and everything started to make sense, everything was on purpose, nothing was forced or a struggle. I would make a decision, write it down, visualize it and it appeared, just like that. My first reaction was to really start believing it was me doing it, so now I wanted everything to change. I had the opportunity when my daughter had to choose a University to study English Philology in. She chose Malaga, a town we knew from summer holiday visits. It was a place near the sea, that I had always dreamed about,  a tourist area where English classes were in demand. I literally got out my pen and paper and wrote down: I will find a nice apartment to live in. A good school for my younger son to study in and find work for my middle teenage daughter. Plenty of work from private English classes will appear, I will earn money to provide for all costs and to be able to save. It will come easily and effortlessly. So the challenge was on! I packed everything and a week before took a trip down to Malaga to set everything up. I had a week before school started so it was “yes or yes” to happen. Arriving there, I felt excited and trusted my morning and evening goals and visualization exercises and took action. First I made publicity and handed out my cards and posted them in the library, shops, all the local places and spread the word about my English classes. I found a sign on a board for an apartment to rent for less than the money I had budgeted for. I phoned the number, saw the flat and accepted, it was mine! Then through word of mouth, I found a lovely school for my son nearby and registered him. Although I had not been to the town hall to register yet, they let me. Education first, the head mistress said, you can go to the town hall after. This all happened in three days, I just stuck to my clear goals and took action upon an undeniable faith! The main feeling I had was that it was on purpose, I was attracting and it felt wonderful! We are happy!

Write a conclusion for the statement dolphins don't belong in aquariums because they need open water
alexira [117]
In conclusion, dolphins need open space because at sea, dolphins are always on the move, often traveling hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles. Their large brains likely help them to succeed in foraging on widely scattered and temporarily available resources. Dolphins, like some other animals, are essentially complex social mammals that need expansive space to live in. A tank can’t even begin to address these needs…

Answer:

I'm not sure what you're wanting but I didn't sleep good would have sounded better with I didn't sleep well no word immediately is spelled wrong it should be I let another hour pass The word quick is in the wrong place shower quickly would be more appropriate The word early does not belong there should not be an explanation mark after headache when I finally arrived would be more appropriate there is no such word as worser it is just plain worse also I don't think I should have an exclamation mark unless they're stressing those two sentences then it would be appropriate as far as the commas go there are a couple misplaced or added extra but I'm not really sure which ones.
