Answers: (B), (F)
The keywords are 'two overtimes...more than fours hours...' We need a word showing the struggle last for a long time.
(A) perennial means something that occurs over the seasons and is constant throughout the years. This is a little too extreme to describe 4 hours.
(B) protracted means lengthy
(C) lachrymose means sad, tearful
(D) consistent does not quite capture the sense of length
(E) penurious means having no money
(F) prolonged means lengthy
