mostly

commonly

cyclically

constantly

- In the given passage, we are looking for a word that best fits the context of a person who is persistently exhibiting a behavior.

- Option 1: "mostly" implies frequency or general amount but doesn't fit the idea of constant or unending behavior.

- Option 2: "commonly" suggests a usual or normal occurrence, but it doesn't capture the incessant nature of the complaints.

- Option 3: "cyclically" indicates something happening in cycles, which doesn't fit the narrative of ongoing complaints without respite.

- Option 4: "constantly" means happening all the time or unceasingly, aligning perfectly with the description of someone who always complains.
