If red litmus paper stays red when tested with a solution, it indicates that the solution is acidic or neutral, as red litmus is designed to remain red in acidic conditions (pH < 7). In contrast, if the solution were basic (pH > 7), the red litmus would turn blue. Therefore, a red litmus that stays red confirms the absence of basicity in the solution being tested.
