Explanation:

To find the meaning of "relevant", we analyze the context: the sentence is about homework's connection to life. "Relevant" here means having importance or bearing on the matter (life). "Effortless" (easy) and "fascinating" (interesting) and "ordinary" (common) don't fit. "Important" matches the idea of homework relating to life's significance.
