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.
