QUESTIONS ON RASHI
1)
Rashi writes: "'The great city' refers to Nineveh [based on Yonah 3:3]." Mizrachi asks - We find that the Midrash is unsure if the phrase "the great city" refers to Nineveh or to Resen. But perhaps it refers to Kalach, the last city mentioned?

Gur Aryeh #1: Tosfos Yoma 10a answers that if it referred to Kalach, we would not need the word "Hi." That word implies that we are returning to a city mentioned earlier.
2.
Gur Aryeh #2: The subject of the verse is Resen, and the Midrash considers Nineveh as well only due to the verse in Yonah.
