AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Bases are bitter in taste.
Source: Acids, Bases and Salts (Chapter 2), Introduction
This is a direct recall question. The textbook explicitly states "bases are bitter." Examiners expect the single keyword bitter. Do not confuse with acids, which are sour. One word is sufficient, but writing a complete sentence is better exam practice.
