Question 91

In the following sentence, a phrase is underlined and is followed by four options of the words.
Select from the options, the one which is nearest in meaning to the underlined phrase.
'Those who work by fits and starts seldom show good results.'

Solution

The underlined expression "by fits and starts" refers to working in an erratic or inconsistent way, as opposed to a steady or regular fashion. Therefore, a person who works "by fits and starts" works in short, inconsistent bursts of activity.

So, option B-irregularly is the correct answer.
