Solution

The correct answer is "engrossing". This is because the sentence implies that the lecture was so interesting or absorbing that it captivated the attention of even those who usually find the topic boring. None of the other options fit this context. "Tenuous" means weak or thin, "pedestrian" means ordinary or dull, and "ephemeral" means short-lived.
