Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. break.

The sentence is:
'Likewise, the life of some people is like a mad rush from one work to another without any (2)____.'

The phrase 'without any break' fits best, as it describes a continuous, hectic lifestyle without rest or pause.

This aligns perfectly with the idea of a 'mad rush.'

Why the other options are incorrect:
Option 1: stress – doesn’t fit grammatically; 'without any stress' contradicts the context of a hectic life.

Option 2: urgent – grammatically incorrect; 'without any urgent' doesn’t make sense.

Option 4: fulfilling – an adjective; doesn’t fit grammatically or logically in this position.
