A synonym of "futile" is __________.
A synonym of "futile" is __________.
"Futile" is an adjective meaning "incapable of producing any useful result" or "pointless." So, we need to pick out an answer choice that is an adjective and means something like "pointless." While both "pointless" and "effortless" end with the suffix "-less," "effortless" means "requiring no physical or mental exertion" or "achieved with admirable ease," so it cannot be the correct answer because it does not mean "pointless." "Ineffective," however, means "not effective," as you might be able to guess from the combination of the negative prefix "in-" and the word "effective." Since "ineffective" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "futile," "ineffective" is the correct answer.

"Toxic" is an adjective that means "causing or capable of causing death or illness if taken into the body" when used of a plant or substance, "producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey" when describing an animal or insect, or "extremely unpleasant or malicious."

ONEROUS
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
ONEROUS
"Onerous" is an adjective that means "involving an amount of effort or difficulty that is overly burdensome." Fun is clearly incorrect, as is talented. So scary sounds possible, since onerous looks a little like ominous, but just because something is challenging does not make it scary, so that's out. Rude is close, and onerous can certainly be used in a context that might mean rude, but ultimately, difficult is the closest synonym.
