Correct Answer: intermittent
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
The word " interminable " means endless or seemingly without end. The antonym " intermittent " means occurring at irregular intervals, suggesting stops or breaks. It contrasts with the idea of a continuous and seemingly endless struggle.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Overwhelming: It implies something being too much or overpowering.
- Inappropriate: Not suitable or fitting for the context.
- Unsustainable: Not able to be maintained over the long term.
Therefore, the correct answer is intermittent.
