Which term means 'repetitive and boring'?

• A. Motivation
• B. Monotonous
• C. Mundane
• D. Mutual

Answer: (B)

Describing something dull because it repeats without variation is the idea being tested here. Monotonous best captures that exact sense, since it explicitly conveys both repetition and a lack of interest or variety. The term comes from monotony—the feeling of dull sameness over time—so a monotonous lecture or task repeats the same points or actions, making it tiresome to endure.

Motivation refers to the reason to act, not to dull repetition. Mundane means ordinary or everyday, which can be dull but doesn’t emphasize repetition as strongly. Mutual means shared or reciprocal, unrelated to dullness or repetition.
