Which word means lacking interest or flavor?

• A. Insipid
• B. Rudimentary
• C. Dismal
• D. Straggly

Answer: (A)

This question tests vocabulary for a word that means lacking interest or flavor. Insipid describes something with little taste or vitality—food that tastes flat and ideas or conversations that feel dull or uninspiring. That dual sense—both flavor and engagement—matches “lacking interest or flavor” very well, so it’s the best fit. Rudimentary refers to something that is basic or undeveloped, not dull in taste or interest. Dismal means depressing or poor in quality, often conveying gloom rather than a specific dullness of flavor or engagement. Straggly describes something spread out unevenly or loosely connected, not related to taste or liveliness.
