Dear Tutors:
I got a wrong answer of a test to fill in the blanks, and here is that question:

People take aspirin _____ to relieve their headaches.
(A) constantly (B) compelled (C) closely (D) chiefly

I chose (A) but the correct answer was (D).

Could you please tell me why, thanks a lot!^_^

Best wishes,
Rae Huang.

Hi,

If you take aspirin constantly (all the time), you would hear ringing in your ears and your stomach will bleed.

Aspirin is used chiefly (primarily) as an analgesic (pain killer), anti-inflammatory and blood thinner.
