what is the meaning of the allusion in the sentence below?

it took a herculean effort on the part of two bystanders to move the stalled car out of traffic.

generous

powerful

Explanation:

The source states Hercules has superhuman strength. The word "Herculean" in the sentence refers to the effort needed to move the car, so it should relate to strength. "Powerful" matches the idea of a strong, superhuman - like effort, while "generous" is about giving, not strength.

powerful
