Choose the correct meaning of the given phrase.

"To do by fits and starts"

• A. To do impulsively
• B. To do at once
• C. To benefit one
• D. To be well off
• E. To act as host

Answer 1

The correct option is A To do impulsively

'To do by fits and starts' means stopping and starting again many times, rather than progressing steadily. 'To do impulsively' means acting momentarily; not continuous. Therefore option A is the correct answer.

Options B, C, D and E are incorrect because these are not the correct meanings of the given phrase.
