Read the sentences.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?

“Drooped limply” and “tasted chewy” suggest that the lettuce was unpleasantly soaked and soft. “Soggy” best describes that texture; “damp” or “wet” only mean having moisture, while “humid” usually describes the air.
