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
options: relaxing, helpful, burdensome, enviable

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "onerous", we analyze the context. The speaker had a tough day at work and was forced to do the task. "Relaxing" is the opposite of what a forced task after a tough day would be. "Helpful" doesn't fit the negative tone of being forced. "Enviable" means desirable, which also doesn't fit. "Burdensome" means difficult or oppressive, which matches the context of a forced, unpleasant task after a tough day.

Answer:

burdensome
