Answer:
It was Saturday morning as I ran down the sidewalk, trying to catch the bus. The bus opened it's doors letting out warm air.
"Where to?" The driver asks.
"Powhatan Library," I say.
I sit down and soon we arrive at the library. I jump up and walk down the aisle, then down the steps.
"Oh, no!" The driver yells furiously.
"The bus broke down!" He yellled.
I suddenly hear a soft cry behind the bus stop. I walk toward it and see a little box with a baby inside. It's wearing a vest with a pack of diapers beside him.
I grab the box and walk down the sidewalk. My house isn't too far away so I head towards my house. When I arrived I called the police and let them know about the baby.
A patrol car arrives, takes pictures, and took the box. He took the baby to the Welfare Department.
I started to softly cry. I felt bad for the baby and hoped he would find a loving home.
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.

Answer:
The missing options are:
A. The time that teenagers spend with digital media negatively impacts their ability to make sense of longer and more complex written material.
B. Teenagers are not developing the social skills they need to succeed in the world, as digital devices encourage them to spend time alone.
C. Fast-paced games and constantly updating social media makes it difficult for teenagers to be entertained by paper media, such as books and magazines.
D. The time that teenagers spend playing video games or on social media takes away from their commitment to their studies, negatively affecting their grades.
<u>The answer is </u><u>A</u>
Explanation:
The central idea is that teenagers spend less time reading for pleasure, which includes reading books, magazines, or newspapers and more time on the internet or social media. As a consequence, they do not develop critical thinking skills, do not reflect enough on topics, do not comprehend long texts, and find it hard to read them.
The text mentions other changes during the years but insists that the one with the more negative impact is the decrease in reading for pleasure.
<span>B. "To date, few companies based in the United States have been willing to explore their options in Puerto Rico because of the high level of uncertainty about our political status, labor policy, and tax code compliance."
Options A and D should be eliminated immediately. They do not give a direct reason for slow economic development. Option C further develops option B. It states what companies are looking for, but does not say that Puerto Rico lacks these things. Option B states exactly what Puerto Rico is lacking which results in slow economic development.
