Question

The lettuce was much too moist to eat. The leaves drooped limply off my fork and tasted chewy in my mouth. Based on the clues in the sentence, which word would be the best replacement for moist? A.damp B.humid C.soggy D.wet

Answer 1

C is the best answer of the options present.

The lettuce is described is being limp and tasty chewy in the mouth. Soggy means something that is both wet and soft. The lettuce can therefore be described as being soggy, as it is soft on the fork and in the mouth.

Answer 2

C. Soggy is the correct answer.
