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 sentence uses "or soaked through" as a context clue for "permeated". "Saturated" means filled completely, which is similar to "soaked through". "Resisted" means fought against, "protected by" means guarded by, and "frozen" means turned to ice, none of which match the context.

saturated
