As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was seeded seventh out of twelve teams.
Based on the context of this sentence, what does the word seeded mean?

A ranked
B planted
C helped
D developed

Answer 1

A ranked

Step-by-step explanation:

''As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was seeded seventh out of twelve teams.''

If you replace the word ''seeded'' with developed, helped, planted. It doesn't make sense.

''As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was RANKED seventh out of twelve teams.''
