C. We had to walk up several flights of stairs to get there.

Answer from: mustafajibawi1

We had to walk up several flights of stairs to get there is your aswer.

All the other sentences contain verbs of manner of movement which accurately describe the movement being performed (hiked, sprinted back and forth, streched and slowly jogged). These sentences also contain PPs (prepositional phrases) denoting the exact location where the movement takes place (in the blooming forest, in the stuffy high school gym, around the track). The NPs are also modified by AdjPs which also add more information about the location. It is a "stuffy high school gym", not only a "high school gym".

The third option is your answer because it is not as descriptive as the other sentences. It contains the word "several" which means "more than two but not many", so you can't tell really how many flights of stairs they walked up. The location is also vague because it is referred with the PP "there" which does not evoke a particular place.

Read this excerpt from white fang by jack london. the qualities in his kind that in the beginning made it possible for them to come in to the fires of men, were qualities capable of development. they were developing in him, and the camp-life, replete with misery as it was, was secretly endearing itself to him all the time. but white fang was unaware of it. he knew only grief for the loss of kiche, hope for her return, and a hungry yearning for the free life that had been his. which quotation from the paragraph supports the story’s theme of homesickness? “the camp life . . was secretly endearing itself to him all the time.” “but white fang was unaware of it.” “he knew only . . a hungry yearning for the free life that had been his.” “the qualities in his kind . . were qualities capable of development.”
