Question

select the correct answer from the drop - down menu. using context clues, find the meaning of the underlined word and complete the sentence. 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

Explanation:

The context mentions returning home late after a tough day and then being forced to do a task (cleaning the kitchen). "Onerous" should mean something that is a burden. "Burdensome" fits this as it implies something that is a burden or difficult to do. "Relaxing" is the opposite (as it's a tough day and then a task), "helpful" doesn't fit the forced - task context, and "enviable" (something to be desired) is also incorrect.

Answer:

burdensome
