Question

the directions for setting up the new computer seemed complex at first, but they were actually quite simple once i looked at the pictures and followed the steps. read the sentence. the antonym simple shows that the word complex means \obvious.\ \modern.\ \complicated.\ \advanced.\

Explanation:

An antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning. Since "simple" is the antonym of "complex", we look for a word with the opposite meaning of "simple". "Complicated" is the opposite of "simple". "Obvious" means easy to see or understand, but it's not the direct opposite of "simple" in the context of complexity. "Modern" refers to the present time or recent styles. "Advanced" means ahead in development.

Answer:

"complicated."
