time of great and _____changes

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. continuing.

  • continuing- without a break in continuity; ongoing.
  • convenient- fitting in well with a person's needs, activities, and plans.
  • coveted- greatly desired or envied.
  • consequent- following as a result or effect.

As we need an adjective here we need to choose an adjective.

Present participle acts as an adjective so it will be the correct choice.

The chosen option fits the context as well.
