Question

read the sentence.
when cotton clothing is permeated, or soaked through, with water, it stays wet and can freeze in cold weather.
based on context clues in the sentence, what is the most likely meaning of permeated?
resisted
protected by
frozen
saturated

Explanation:

The phrase "or soaked through" is a context clue. "Soaked through" means completely wet or saturated. "Resisted" means to oppose, which doesn't fit. "Protected by" is about defense, not relevant. "Frozen" is about being turned to ice, not related to the water - soaking context.

Answer:

saturated
