Question

Choose the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning to the italicized word.
The food served at the official dinner was very bland.

• A. inedible
• B. spicy
• C. nutritious
• D. tasty

Answer 1

The correct option is D tasty

Bland means lacking strong features or characteristics and therefore uninteresting. The opposite of bland is tasty, or having a pleasant, distinct flavour. Hence, Option D is correct. Among the rest of the options, inedible means that which cannot be eaten, spicy means flavoured with spice, nutritious means nourishing. These options do not express this antonym, hence incorrect.
