Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

Although the task seemed __________ at first , consistent efforts made it manageable.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

After "seemed" an adjective is required. "Exhaust" is a verb, "exhaustively" is an adverb, and "exhausted" describes a tired person, not a task. "Exhaustive", meaning extremely thorough and demanding, is the adjective that fits: the task seemed exhaustive at first but became manageable.

Note: "Exhausting" would be the most natural word here, but it is not offered; we have picked "exhaustive" as the only adjective among the options that suits the blank.
