Well, one person, let's call her Jane, asks another one (let's him Mike) a question.
Mike says that he has to think about Jane's question first because it is difficult to understand.
Jane replies, that no the question is not difficult, it's easy. Because she is convinced that her question is easy to answer she says the question surely (certainly) is easy.

I chose hardly for its answer, but it wasn't right. Don't you think hardly sounds right to the ears than surely? Just a question. Thanks for your answer.

As you know hardly is incorrect here because it means almost not so this would conflict with what the speaker actually wants to say.
