Detailed Explanation

If you are taking notes of the audio, then the last few words which are very important. In this case, the last couple of words were “it can seem like”. So you are essentially comparing what did he describes before with something else. So it can seem like – the first two options are there with which you can compare something with. Last two options are the things which “are” or ” which can be”, so if “it was” or “it can be” character building or troublesome. But when you are comparing then it has to be a thing. So that’s why it would either be “a unwanted adventure” or “an unending nightmare”. But it’s “an” which is followed by a word beginning with a vowel “U”, so option an ending nightmare is correct. In addition to this, the text tells you that which sentence will make a logical sentence.
