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

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.

C. Soggy is the correct answer.

i really dont know

explanation:

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
