Question

tasty vs delicious
You must try this restaurant.

The food is _______.

A) very delicious  B) absolutely delicious  C) absolutely tasty

I have chosen  B

However, I  can see no difference between "tasty" and "delicious"

Thanks a lot.

Answer

I guess you're studying gradable and strong adjectives.  "Delicious" is a strong adjective for "tasty".  Typically, you use absolute adverbs (absolutely, utterly, etc) with strong adverbs, and gradable adverbs (very, really, quite) with gradable adjectives.

So yes, your choice is right. I can definitely say "absolutely tasty" sounds awkward and funny, though "very delicious" could work... but not as naturally as "absolutely delicious".

Answer

There actually is no difference! They're synonyms. However "delicious" is a little stronger than "tasty".
