Answer 1

1.invisible means that no one observes that a woman is doing so much of work.eg - cooking, washing chlothes, sweeping, wiping, etc.(the list is never ending)
2.physically demanding means that it needs a lot of efforts.eg - sweeping, changing gas cylinder, wiping, washing cholthes(if there is no washing machine)
3.time consuming means that it needs a lot of time.( no eg. it is obvious that if there are so many jobs then it will consume a lot of time).

Answer 2

Invisible here means something which is not noticed. A good example will be breakfast in the morning, which we eat without realizing the amount of effort put in making it.

Physically demanding means something which requires hard work. An example of this is washing clothes.

Time consuming means something which takes a long time to be done. Cleaning the house is an example of this.
