Explanation:

Question 4

Faith Kipyegon's attempt to run a mile under 4 minutes resulted in a time of 4 minutes 7 seconds (which is 6.42 seconds over 4 minutes, but the option for the time she ran is 4 minutes 7 seconds). The other options: 4 minutes.06 seconds is very close to 4 minutes (not "came up short" in a way that matches the context of her attempt), and 6.42 seconds is the difference, not the total time. So the correct option is the one with her actual time.

Pacers in a race like this (especially for a record attempt) serve to maintain a fast pace for the main runner and also help reduce wind resistance by running in front or around, creating a draft. So both purposes apply. The first option is part of it, the second is too, so "Both" is correct.

Answer:

4 minutes 7 seconds
