(1) There are many examples of grand architecture in the world. (2) Some of the most impressive are buildings of the ancient city called Petra in Jordan. (3) Petra is the Greek word for "rock." (4) The early inhabitants of Petra—the Nabataeans—did not use wood or brick to make the structures, but instead, they carved them right out of the desert sandstone cliffs. (5) Two thousand years ago, Petra was an important center of activity where caravans of travelers would pass through on their way to trade goods in other regions. (6) Their power and riches can still be seen today in the remains of their city. (7) Although Petra was built in a rugged, dry desert, the Nabataeans made wise plans for collecting and storing water. (8) This water system was made of cisterns, or reservoirs, that held water and channels that directed water from one place to another. (9) After thriving for about 1,000 years, Petra began to decline. (10) The trade routes that had once gone through the city were changed to go toward the sea. (11) In addition, an earthquake devastated the area. (12) The ruins of the city were rediscovered in the 1800s by a European traveler who disguised himself as a local Bedouin, or local Middle Eastern person, to find the remote location. (13) Today, modern travelers can visit Petra and see its majesty in person; tours are available by foot, donkey, or camel. (14) Much of Petra remains to be seen; archaeologists have uncovered only 15 percent of it. (15) The rest of this city is still "lost" or underground.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

from Ragged (word brainly doesnt like) By Horatio Alger

Getting up too was an equally short process. He jumped out of the box, shook himself, picked out one or two straws that had found their way into rents in his clothes, and, drawing a well-worn cap over his uncombed locks, he was all ready for the business of the day.

(word brainly doesnt like)'s appearance, as he stood beside the box, was rather peculiar. His pants were torn in several places, and had apparently belonged in the first instance to a boy two sizes larger than himself. He wore a vest, all the buttons of which were gone except two, out of which peeped a shirt which looked as if it had been worn a month. To complete his costume he wore a coat too long for him, dating back, if one might judge from its general appearance, to a remote antiquity.

Washing the face and hands is usually considered proper in commencing the day, but (word brainly doesnt like) was above such refinement. He had no particular dislike to dirt, and did not think it necessary to remove several dark streaks on his face and hands. But in spite of his dirt and rags there was something about (word brainly doesnt like) that was attractive. It was easy to see that if he had been clean and well dressed he would have been decidedly good-looking. Some of his companions were sly, and their faces inspired distrust; but (word brainly doesnt like) had a frank, straight-forward manner that made him a favorite.

Based on the information provided in this sentence, what is the best definition of "remote antiquity?"

To complete his costume he wore a coat too long for him, dating back, if one might judge from its general appearance, to a remote antiquity.

The distant past
The far-flung provinces
An abandoned mansion
An exotic, far-away place
