Onerous likely means burdensome.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The context is about the two roommates where, when one roommate returned home from work, the other roommate forced him to do the ‘onerous’ task of cleaning kitchen.

Here, onerous means something which causes burden. It  maintain involving in a task which requires a lot of effort thus making it burdensome.

So when the roommate was already tired from his hectic day at work, then the other roommate forced him to engage in task of cleaning which he found onerous.

Is 9 greater than 2 , so 7.09 is greater than 7.2
mrs_skeptik [129]
7.09 is not greater than 7.2 because .09 is on the hundren place while .2 is on the tenth place. If you wanted to know whether 7.09 is greater 7.2, you had to move one time on the right for 7.2 and it will give you 7.20 which is now in a hundren place.
So if you look closely 7.20 will be greater than 7.09

Can you do a movie review about Spiderman 2 (<br> Including all points)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

"Spider-Man 2" is the best superhero movie since the modern genre was launched with "Superman" (1978). It succeeds by being true to the insight that allowed Marvel Comics to upturn decades of comic-book tradition: Readers could identify more completely with heroes like themselves than with remote godlike paragons. Peter Parker was an insecure high school student, in grade trouble, inarticulate in love, unready to assume the responsibilities that came with his unexpected superpowers. It wasn't that Spider-Man could swing from skyscrapers that won over his readers; it was that he fretted about personal problems in the thought balloons above his Spidey face mask.

Parker (Tobey Maguire) is in college now, studying physics at Columbia, more helplessly in love than ever with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). He's on the edge of a breakdown: He's lost his job as a pizza deliveryman, Aunt May faces foreclosure on her mortgage, he's missing classes, the colors run together when he washes his Spider-Man suit at the Laundromat, and after his web-spinning ability inexplicably seems to fade, he throws away his beloved uniform in despair. When a bum tries to sell the discarded Spidey suit to Jonah Jameson, editor of the Daily Bugle, Jameson offers him $50. The bum says he could do better on eBay. Has it come to this?

I was disappointed by the original "Spider-Man" (2002), and surprised to find this film working from the first frame. Sam Raimi, the director of both pictures, this time seems to know exactly what he should do, and never steps wrong in a film that effortlessly combines special effects and a human story, keeping its parallel plots alive and moving. One of the keys to the movie's success must be the contribution of novelist Michael Chabon to the screenplay; Chabon understands in his bones what comic books are, and why. His inspired 2000 novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay chronicles the birth of a 1940s comic book superhero and the young men who created him; he worked on the screen story that fed into Alvin Sargent's screenplay.

Which sentence best uses a split infinitive to create emphasis?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Young drivers must remember to always turn off cell phones before getting behind the wheel.

Explanation:

This has the strongest emphasis for me, because 'always' is a very harsh and completely unambiguous word in this context.

The other split infinitives, "to not text", "to fully focus", and "to completely ignore", do not have the same effect, and sound odd and unnatural, whereas "to always turn off" sounds much more definite.

Additionally, "to fully focus" contains alliteration, which trivialises the serious matter being discussed (safe driving), as it 'poeticises' the statement somewhat.
