Reading the passage
The last sentence supplies the link: sustained intense training usually depends on an appropriate level of interest and desire. The question asks what helps someone keep practicing, not every condition that might contribute to becoming outstanding. Use the stated connection instead of substituting a plausible idea about discipline or free time.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The passage's emphasis on sufficient enthusiasm and motivation directly matches this answer (paragraph 4). Those motivational factors help explain why a person sustains the training.
- B
Emotional support could be helpful, but the author doesn't identify it as the usual requirement for keeping up intense practice.
- C
Starting instruction early is part of the described training history. That is not the factor the author says sustained practice usually depends on. Beginning training and continuing it are different questions.
- D
Enough free time sounds practical, but it isn't the stated requirement. No claim about leisure time appears.
- E
Self-discipline and control might also sound reasonable. The author specifically names interest and desire, however, and does not state this alternative as a usual necessity.
