Which word means dull, uninteresting, lacking in liveliness or imagination?

• A. Adroit
• B. Vapid
• C. Cogent
• D. Eviscerate

Answer: (B)

This item tests how well you spot a word that conveys dullness and a lack of liveliness or imagination. Vapid describes something flat, uninteresting, and lacking flavor or spark—like a conversation that goes nowhere or an idea that fails to engage. That sense of emptiness is exactly what the description asks for. Adroit means skillful or clever, which talks about ability rather than dullness. Cogent means clear, logical, and convincing, which is about sound reasoning rather than liveliness. Eviscerate can mean to disembowel or to criticize harshly, which involves destruction or severe critique, not dullness. So vapid is the best fit.
