What inspires remarkably popular leader of community totally (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
every inch
'totally' is the definition.
(every inch means completely or totally)
'what inspires remarkably popular leader of community' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'eh' (sound used to ask 'what?' or 'pardon?').
'inspires' is an insertion indicator (inspire means to breathe in).
'remarkably' becomes 'very' (to a considerable degree).
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'community' is 'c'.
'very'+'in'+'c'='veryinc'
'eh' placed around 'veryinc' is 'EVERY INCH'.
(Other definitions for every inch that I've seen before include "Absolutely!" , "Entirely" , "Thoroughly" , "Wholly" , "completely" .)
