In the sentence “His trite remarks failed to cut any ice with the audience,” the word “trite” means “hackneyed.” This means that the remarks were unoriginal
and overused, and therefore did not have any impact on the audience. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the meaning of the word “trite.”
