What is the opposite of laborious?

Challenging
Demanding
Easy
Time-consuming

The correct answer is: Easy

The term "laborious" refers to tasks that require a considerable amount of effort, hard work, and time. In contrast, the word "easy" describes tasks that are simple to accomplish and require little effort. Therefore, "easy" serves as the antonym of "laborious," as it directly signifies the absence of difficulty and effort associated with a laborious activity. The other choices do not convey the opposite meaning in the same way. "Challenging" and "demanding" suggest a level of difficulty that is still present in laborious tasks, while "time-consuming" implies that a task takes a long duration to complete, which aligns more with the nature of laborious work rather than opposing it. Thus, "easy" accurately captures the opposite concept of laborious.
