The question asks for the word that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word "tasty." The word "tasty" refers to something that is pleasant to taste or delicious. Therefore, the opposite would be a word that conveys the idea of being unpleasant to taste or bad in terms of flavor. <br /><br />1. "Difficult" is not the opposite of "tasty" as it refers to something that is not easy to do or understand, which is a qualitative measure of ease or complexity, not taste.<br />2. "Delicious" is a synonym for "tasty," not its antonym. Both words convey the idea of something being pleasant to taste.<br />3. "Salty" is not the opposite of "tasty." While it describes a specific taste quality, it does not inherently convey whether that taste is pleasant or unpleasant. Something can be salty and still be tasty.<br />4. "Terrible" is the opposite of "tasty" in the context of flavor or taste. If something is terrible in terms of taste, it is the direct antonym of being tasty or delicious.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is "terrible," as it is the word that is opposite in meaning to "tasty."
