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.

Explanation:
The statement that describes the irony in the narrator's observation that the couple is "not from here" is "the narrator is not from 'here' either," option A.
<h3>What is irony?</h3>
Irony is usually described as a situation where the consequences or outcome is different from what we initially expected. Here, however, we are looking for the irony found in the narrator's words in the story "Mericans."
In this case, the irony is not about the situation or its outcome per se. It relates more to who is saying what about whom. The girl who narrates the story is "not from here," which means she is not completely American. She is of Mexican origin, but she still judges the couple she sees by saying they were clearly "not from here."
In other words, the irony is that everyone is "not from here" to someone. The narrator is "not from here" in the sense that she is Mexican. The couple is "not from here" in the sense that they are not Catholics.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.
