Question

They are cut off by snow for days on end. “On end” means

• A. often
• B. always
• C. at times
• D. continuously

Answer 1

Answer:

D. continuously

• The phrase “for days on end” means something happens without stopping for several days.

• “Often” means frequently, but not necessarily continuously.

• “Always” means all the time, which is too general.

• “At times” means occasionally, which is the opposite.

So the sentence means: They are cut off by snow continuously for several days.
