Answer 1

Answer: (A)

constant

The highlighted word means 'continuous'.

Option A is correct. 'Constant', in this context, means 'continuous'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Options B, C and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'intermittent' means 'irregular' and 'unexpected' means 'surprising'.
