Antonyms

Question:

Select the antonym of the given word.

Delicious

Options:

Insipid

Tepid

Salty

Gross

Correct Answer:

Insipid

Explanation:

The antonym of the word delicious is insipid.

  • Delicious means "extremely pleasing to the taste."
  • Insipid means "lacking flavor or interest; bland."

The other words do not have the same meaning as delicious, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Tepid means "lukewarm or not very enthusiastic."
  • Salty means "having a strong salty taste."
  • Gross means "extremely unpleasant or disgusting."
