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.
Extreme distances were jumped.

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.

Start a fire. It sets the entire island on fire and puts them in danger. As far as irony goes, fire is a symbol of hope in the novel, so it is ironic that hope is the thing that would destroy them (if they were not found just in time).
