    1. I think bathed is a good synonym because it implies a person is covered with water. Sometimes people say they were bathed in the rain, the word " drenched" provided a similar meaning. Saturated I believe is also an adequate synonym for drenched because it means water soaking in, and drenched implies similarly.

    1. Since Sentence #1 is in past tense, you'd want to phrase it, "The sponge was drenched with soap water while mom was doing the dishes."

    Synonym: steep (v)
    Steep is a synonym since it means to soak in a liquid. Connotation: Drench is stronger than steep because drench means that someone or something is wet thoroughly.

  13. - Antonyms: dehydrated
    I think dehydrated is a good antonym since drenched means totally covered with water. However, dehydrated means the exact opposite, which is being removed of water.
