Question
Read the sentence from paragraph 6 of “Soil.”Many critics feel that the produce does not taste as delectable.Which word would best replace delectable in this sentence? A. delicious B. detestable C. pleasing D. tempting
Solution
The word "delectable" in the sentence refers to something that is very pleasant to taste or smell. Therefore, the best replacement for "delectable" in this context would be "delicious" (Option A). The other options do not convey the same meaning: "detestable" means very bad or unpleasant, "pleasing" is too general and could refer to any of the senses, and "tempting" implies that the produce is enticing or inviting, but does not necessarily mean it tastes good.
