Read the blog entry below and answer the question that follows:

At first I dreaded going to sixth grade camp. I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. But was I wrong! In fact, it was the best week ever! I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top. I even made a new best friend. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)

Review the following sentence.

And the food was delicious.

If the author wanted to convey a connotation that has a more positive shade of meaning, which of the following words could replace delicious?

Repulsive

Unappealing

Delectable

Bland
