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.

Answer from: Quest

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
