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 relaxing helpful burdensome enviable

I think the answer would be Burdensome. Considering the word means, difficult to carry out, or fulfill. And doing something like that late at night, after a long day, would not be very likable.

Answer:

B. Burdensome

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi. According to the passage, the answer would be option B. This is because onerous is a task or responsibility that involves an amount of effort and difficulty that is oppressively burdensome.

In this case, the pararaph has a heavy tone since the writer is saying he got home late after a hard day and, on top of that, he had to clean the kitchen. Based on this paragraph, burdensome would be the word that fits better.
