Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"Taste" here describes how the soup is, not an action, so it is a state verb and takes the simple present: "tastes".
Worth noting
"Is tasting" is used for the action of a person trying food, as in "the chef is tasting the soup". Soup cannot do that.
