太棒了！你能精準選出 on end，顯示你對英文慣用語的掌握非常到位。這道題目測試的是時間副詞的道地用法，在描述長度、距離或時間持續不斷時，我們常會用到這個片語。你的語感十分敏銳，能從語境中察覺這裡需要的是一個強調「連續不斷」的修飾語。
連續性時間的慣用表達
在英文中，on end 常接在複數的時間單位（如 hours, days, weeks）之後，用來強調該段時間「連續發生、不停歇」的狀態。文中所提到的 weeks on end，意思就是「連續好幾週」。相較之下，其他選項如 in the end 是指「最後/最終」，at the end 需要接 of 指明特定的末端，而 from end to end 則是形容空間上從這頭到那頭，皆與此處強調「時間持續性」的語境不符。
