   AInsipidBInsepidCInsypidDInsippid
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Insipid

   Meaning: insipid = tasteless, flat, lacking interest or excitement *(नीरस, फीका, बेस्वाद)*.
   The word is Latin in- (not) + sapidus (tasty).
   So it is in + sip + id — the vowel i three times over, a single p, and no e or y anywhere.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • Insepid — swaps the middle i for e *(अशुद्ध वर्तनी)*; nothing in the Latin root gives an e.
   • Insypid — puts y for i *(अशुद्ध वर्तनी)*; y turns up in Greek roots, not in this Latin one.
   • Insippid — doubles the p *(अशुद्ध वर्तनी)*; a single consonant is kept here, as in *rapid* and *vapid*.
   Word help.
   excitement = a feeling of lively interest *(उत्साह, रोमांच)*.
   vapid = the close cousin of this word, dull and flavourless *(नीरस, सारहीन)*.

Examples

• “The soup was quite insipid without any salt.”
