arduous, taxing This sentence describes “creative work” as having a particular difficulty, namely that one must be “self-motivated.” Some might contrast this with “manual labor,” but the author of the sentence wants to render them equivalent. Thus, a good fill-in would be difficult. Serious and grave are an incorrect pair. Never in the sentence is it discussed whether or not creative work is more serious than manual labor. Inventive (able to create, design, or think originally) and collaborative (made or done by two or more parties working together) have no relationship.
