Pleasing to the sense of taste or smell especially by reason of effective seasoning
(SSC CPO 2024 T-2 (30 April))Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Savoury
Explanation:
The correct answer is Savoury, as it refers to something pleasant in taste or smell, especially due to effective seasoning. It is commonly used to describe flavourful, non-sweet food that appeals to the senses because of added spices or herbs.
Other options do not fit this meaning:
• Smelly typically refers to unpleasant odours.
• Sweet describes taste that is sugary, not seasoned.
• Stale refers to food that has lost freshness and is usually unappetizing.
Thus, the best fit for “pleasing to the sense of taste or smell especially by reason of effective seasoning” is Savoury. - SSC Steno 2022 T-1 Antonyms
