Correct Answer :

Option B

Savory

Solution :

The correct option is Savory.


Explanation:


The word Insipid is an adjective that refers to food or drink that is lacking in flavor, taste, or character; it can be translated as bland, tasteless, or uninteresting.


To find the word opposite in meaning (antonym), we look for a word that denotes having a pleasant, rich, or exciting taste or smell. Let's analyze the given options:


1. Uninteresting: Lacking in excitement or interest (synonym of insipid when used figuratively).
2. Savory: Belonging to the category of salty or spicy rather than sweet; full of flavor, tasty, and attractive to the palate. This is the direct opposite of insipid.
3. Spiritless: Lacking courage, vigor, or vivacity (synonym of insipid when describing personality).
4. Bland: Lacking strong features or characteristics, and therefore uninteresting or tasteless (synonym of insipid).


Therefore, Savory is the correct opposite of Insipid.
