What does the word vapid mean?

Lifeless
Excessively busy
Highly informative
Filled with excitement

The correct answer is: Lifeless

The word "vapid" is best understood as lifeless or lacking flavor, whether in a literal sense, such as describing insipid beverages, or in a figurative sense, such as describing dull conversations or uninteresting ideas. This term conveys a sense of boredom or a lack of stimulating qualities that one might seek in engaging subjects or experiences. Therefore, lifeless captures the essence of "vapid" perfectly, highlighting its association with a lack of vitality or an absence of stimulating qualities. The other choices do not align with the primary meaning of the word, as they suggest attributes that are either overly busy, informative, or filled with excitement, all of which are the opposite of what "vapid" implies.
