Question

"I thought you said this was a difficult problem. It isn't. In fact, it's as easy as pie."

• A. Evident
• B. Unmistakable
• C. Not worthy
• D. Very simple

Hint:

Think about what makes a task require almost no effort.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This question checks whether you know the everyday meaning of the phrase "as easy as pie". People use this phrase for a task that takes almost no effort to finish.

1. Evident: This word means clear or obvious to see. The phrase is not about how obvious something is, so this option does not fit.
2. Unmistakable: This word means something cannot be confused with anything else. The speaker is talking about how hard or simple the problem is, not about confusion, so this is off track.
3. Not worthy: This means something does not deserve attention or respect. The sentence says nothing about worth or value, so this option is wrong.
4. Very simple: A pie is soft and easy to cut and eat, so calling something "as easy as pie" means it takes very little effort. This matches the sentence perfectly, since the speaker says the problem "isn't" difficult.

The correct option is "Very simple", because the speaker is telling us the problem turned out to need almost no effort to solve.

Let's summarize:

• "As easy as pie" is a common idiom for a task that is very simple to do.
• The other options talk about clarity, confusion, or worth, none of which match the sense of ease in the sentence.

So the option that best expresses the meaning of "as easy as pie" is "Very simple".
