Honest feedback. There is no "wrong" answer, yet you want to remain positive and not just tell the interviewer what you "didn't like" about a previous position or what you might not like about this one. Challenges happen, the interviewer wants to know how you handle them.

"I have found that prioritization is sometimes difficult. As an Office Clerk with many tasks coming my way simultaneously, I have found I need to speak up and ask each individual for a projected timeline so I can understand what is most appropriate to focus on first."

Complaining; nobody wants to hear negativity even if you do find some tasks boring or less productive, so be sure to spin this question in a positive manner.
