Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The platter was insipid, so we refused to pay the bill.
Option 1: full of flavours
Option 2: filled with dirt
Option 3: full of spices
Option 4: lacking taste
Correct Answer: lacking taste
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.
"Insipid" means lacking flavour or taste, so "lacking taste" accurately conveys the same meaning. It describes the platter as dull or unappetising, which aligns with the context of the sentence, where the speaker refused to pay the bill due to the unsatisfactory taste of the food.
Therefore, the correct answer is lacking taste.
