I hated that car. It broke down every few weeks. It was also painted two different shades of ugly brown and was covered in dents.

What is the purpose of the continuation signal word also?

to show that the car was reliable, but not ugly
to show that the car was uncomfortable and brown
to show that the car was both unreliable and ugly
to show that the car was ugly and dented

The purpose of the continuation signal word "also" in this context is to show that the car was both unreliable and ugly. Therefore, the correct option is:

to show that the car was both unreliable and ugly.
