Question

multiple choice question
instead of being a boring routine that just gathers information, the research process can be a very ______ process.

• uneventful
• creative
• mechanical
• tedious

Explanation:

The sentence contrasts the research process with a "boring routine that just gathers information," so the blank needs a word with the opposite meaning of boring/routine. "Uneventful," "mechanical," and "tedious" all describe dull, routine-like processes, while "creative" represents an engaging, non-routine quality.

Answer:

B. creative
