What term describes something that can be done with ease or competence?

Adept
Skilled
Proficient
Masterful

The correct answer is: Proficient

The term that describes something that can be done with ease or competence is "proficient." Proficiency refers to a high degree of competence or skill in a particular area, indicating that an individual not only knows how to perform a task but can do so effectively and with a level of expertise that implies confidence and ease. While "adept," "skilled," and "masterful" also relate to competence, "proficient" specifically encompasses the idea of being capable and competent in routine or typical tasks within a certain field. It denotes a solid level of ability that allows for successful performance under varying circumstances, making it an essential term in contexts where practical application is emphasized.
