Correct Answer: Repelling


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The word tempting in the sentence implies that the vegetarian offerings on the lunch menu are appealing or attractive, likely to entice or attract interest or desire. The antonym that fits best, in contrast, is repelling, which means causing strong dislike or aversion, pushing away interest or desire. In this context, it indicates that the vegetarian offerings are unappealing or unattractive.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Seductive describes something that has a strong power to attract or entice due to its charm or appeal.
  • Enticing means attractive or tempting. It refers to something that is appealing and has the power to attract or tempt someone to engage with it or be interested in it.
  • Tantalising refers to something that is teasingly desirable or attractive but is just out of reach or unavailable.
