Show answer
Correct answer
- ASituaciones monótonas.Monotonous situations.
Explanation
Monotonous situations, such as a straight dual carriageway (autovía) with little traffic and unchanging surroundings, reduce stimulation and alertness, so they encourage drowsiness. Heavy traffic or frequent changes, on the other hand, force you to pay more attention, although they can be tiring.
