this question has two parts. answer part a, and then answer part b.
part a
in paragraph 6, what does the phrase \come rain or shine or tiredness\ suggest about the author?

1. he feels more inspired to run when faced with extra challenges.
2. he is committed to running despite external or internal obstacles.
3. he lives in a place that makes outdoor exercise particularly unsafe.
4. he finds that exercising becomes easier if he does it on a regular schedule.

Explanation:

The phrase "Come rain or shine or tiredness" combines external obstacles (rain/shine, weather conditions) and internal obstacles (tiredness). It conveys that the author maintains their running routine regardless of these barriers, showing commitment. Option 1 is incorrect because the phrase does not mention increased inspiration. Option 3 is irrelevant as there is no reference to unsafe exercise conditions. Option 4 is wrong because the phrase does not relate to a regular schedule making exercise easier.

Answer:

1. He is committed to running despite external or internal obstacles.
