Question

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the word given in brackets to fill in the blank.

He was able to do _____(tedious) jobs and hence decided to be in the airline service, which demanded 12 long hours of service.

• A. irksome
• B. delightful
• C. riotous
• D. timid

Answer 1

Answer:

B. delightful

• Tedious means boring, dull, or repetitive. • Since the sentence mentions the job requires "12 long hours," the blank needs a word that makes such a task sound positive. • Delightful (very pleasing) is the direct antonym of tedious.
