Question: 293

3. Lacking any interesting qualities, the _______ movie featured cheap special effects, an unlikely plot, and ridiculously bad acting.

  • A. insipid
  • B. hilarious
  • C. optimistic
  • D. uproarious

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. The key to this question is the phrase "lacking any interesting qualities." Of the four choices, only insipid has enough of a negative connotation to set it apart from the other choices. In fact, the key phrase in the sentence is essentially the definition of insipid, which means "lacking qualities that excite, stimulate, or interest."
