Explanation:

To determine the Senate's reaction to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, we analyze each option:

• The option "It refused to ratify it because it cost too much" is incorrect. The Senate did ratify the treaty.
• The option "It refused to ratify the treaty and signaled the president that the war with Mexico should continue" is incorrect. The treaty ended the Mexican - American War, and the Senate ratified it.
• The option "It ratified the treaty, including the Wilmot Proviso" is incorrect. The Wilmot Proviso, which aimed to ban slavery in acquired territories, never passed both houses and was not part of the ratified treaty.
• The option "It ratified the treaty, but the Wilmot Proviso never passed both houses" is correct. The Senate ratified the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and the Wilmot Proviso, despite efforts, failed to pass both the House and the Senate.

Answer:

It ratified the treaty, but the Wilmot Proviso never passed both houses.
