Correct Answer: bitter


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Bitter is the correct choice as it fits the context of the sentence, describing an unexpected taste that is not sweet but rather unpleasant and sharp.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Dulcet means sweet and melodious.
  • Aromatic refers to having a pleasant and distinctive smell.
  • Tenacious means holding firmly.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Instead of the sweet taste she expected, it was bitter, like alum."
