Answer 2

Answer:

It may take me months, if not years, to train for a marathon.

Explanation:

• By using a pair of commas in a middle of sentence we can off set some phrases or words of any other information that is not relevant to the main sentence.
• The first comma is used at the start of this phrase whereas the other is used at the end of the phrase.
• For example- The day I met your mother, It was a Thursday, I knew she was the one.
• Here the phrase it was a Thursday has no direct relevance to the main sentence and hence is fitted under the set of commas.
