訳 · Translation

相次いで ("one after another") → "Major firms entered one after another."

正解 · Answer

大手企業が相次いで参入した。

解説 · Why

相次いで means "one after another, in succession", used for a series of separate events (companies entering, accidents occurring). It is not an adjective or a manner of a single action.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong

コーヒーを相次いでのんだ。 — For "one after another" drinks, 続けて is natural; 相次いで suits discrete events/reports.

えきまで相次いであるいた。 — For walking straight there use まっすぐ; 相次いで does not fit a single action.

かれは相次いでやさしい。 — 相次いで is not an adjective modifier; use いつも/本当に for "always/really kind".
