Directions: Select the most appropriate filler(s) for the blank(s) such that the sentence makes coherent sense.

Although the restaurant was known for its ________ delicacies, they found the dishes they order were ________.

The clue word in this sentence is 'although', which sets up a contrast between two blanks. Of all these option, (1) and (3) seems to fit our prediction. “Gingerly', in actual sense means in a very careful or cautious way, hence does not give sense to the sentence, though “bland” (tasteless, dull) is a good substitute for second blank. “Savory” means tasty, attractive and “insipid” is a synonym of bland, therefore it fits our prediction. Hence, (1) is the answer.
