He starts by telling us about the climb itself, but quickly shifts the focus from the event to Hillary's incomplete account about it. Then, he continues to describe the adventure, stopping from time to time, and referring again to Hillary's view. His narration is interrupted with these occasional comments. Apparently, his goal is to provide a more complete and objective account. The point he draws the reader to is that the climb would have been impossible if it weren't for the two of them, and that it is entirely irrelevant who made the first step.

Answer: entangled
Explanation:
Mired has several meanings but in this case it refers to being entangled.
The scenario above tells of a situation where an Act to provide for better healthcare to Veterans, the VA Mission Act, had not been passed due to budgetary issues.
In using the word ''mired'', the author wanted to describe that the Act had not been passed because it had been entangled in budgetary disputes between different parties.
Philadelphia, June 18
I write this letter out of admiration and hope. For I, who have never purposely hurt another human being, am willing to be hurt to defend a dream.
Sir, I respect you and all that you and the great men of this land have been doing for the sake of us all. For the sake of families and faces that you have never met.
I am no soldier, but I am a believer. I am no fighter, but I am a survivor. I ask you, humbly, to allow me to be a part of history and fight for what is right. I beg you to give me a chance to proudly assure that the good men of this land and our children keep what is their, to keep what they deserve.
Respectfully.
