Test 3 manhattan SE question

wallow in
waver

I think wallow in cannot be used in a context to express support
I've checked the internet and could not find anything that supports this


wallow in
v.
1. To roll the body lazily or clumsily in some medium or substance: The pig wallowed in the mud.
2. To revel in some condition or behavior; take pleasure in some condition or behavior: The celebrity wallowed in his fame.
3. To be plentifully supplied: The heirs wallowed in money
