Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. 'To continue without any interruption.'
The word “incessant” means continuing without pause or interruption—often describing something that is unending and sometimes annoying or overwhelming.
Let's evaluate the options:
“To follow an unknown course” – unrelated to the meaning.
“To occur at irregular intervals or occasionally” – this is the opposite of incessant.
“To impact in a strikingly negative way” – unrelated.
“To continue without any interruption” – matches the definition exactly.
