The glissando, a technique widely used in the twentieth century, is:

The combination of two traditional chords sounding together.
A chord made up of tones only a half step or a whole step apart.
A rapid slide up or down a scale.
A motive or phrase that is repeated persistently at the same pitch throughout a section.
