Question

Why can't we taste the food properly, when we have a cold?

• A. The food is not tasty.
• B. Our tongue feels ill when we have cold.
• C. We cannot smell when we have cold.
• D. Our digestive system does not work when we have cold.

Answer 1

The correct option is C We cannot smell when we have cold.

We know that the sense of smell helps in getting the complete taste of food. In case of a common cold, our nose is blocked, which blocks the sense of smell. That is why we are unable to taste food properly in case of a cold.
