Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The sentence sets up a contrast: "Experiencing happiness is a straightforward process, yet articulating its essence proves to be a ______ task." The word in the blank should be the opposite of "straightforward" in terms of difficulty.
- "Challenging" means testing one's abilities; difficult. This fits perfectly, as it implies that while feeling happiness is easy, explaining it is hard.
- "Easy" is the direct opposite of what is needed, as the sentence uses "yet" to indicate a contrast.
- "Covetous" means having or showing a great desire to possess something belonging to someone else, which is irrelevant to the difficulty of a task.
- "Epistemic" relates to knowledge or the theory of knowledge, which is too specific and doesn't directly describe the general difficulty of articulating an emotion.
