Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I think the answer is walking because it's preceded by the possissive s and to my knowledge the possissive s is followed by a noun which is in this case a gerund.

Explanation:

I returned home late after a tough day at work, but my roommate forced me to do the onerous task of cleaning the kitchen. Based on the context, onerous likely means relaxing helpful burdensome enviable

Answers

Answer:

B. Burdensome

Explanation:

Hi. According to the passage, the answer would be option B. This is because onerous is a task or responsibility that involves an amount of effort and difficulty that is oppressively burdensome.

In this case, the pararaph has a heavy tone since the writer is saying he got home late after a hard day and, on top of that, he had to clean the kitchen. Based on this paragraph, burdensome would be the word that fits better.

I think the answer would be Burdensome. Considering the word means, difficult to carry out, or fulfill. And doing something like that late at night, after a long day, would not be very likable.
