Correct Answer: second wind


Solution : The third option is correct.

The sentence he got a burst of energy and started digging again suggests that after a period of fatigue or exhaustion, the person experienced a sudden renewal of energy. The idiom second wind is used to describe this phenomenon. When someone gets a second wind, it means they suddenly find renewed energy, often after feeling tired or fatigued.

Therefore, the correct answer is second wind .
