• Plant B received no water.

• Plant A had more roots.

• Photosynthesis is important for growth.

• Plant B needed more nutrients.

In an experiment, two pots of water were boiled. Pot A contained plain water, while Pot B contained water with added salt. Pot B took longer to boil than Pot A. What is the claim in the scenario?

• Salt makes water taste better.

• Salt lowers water's freezing point.

• Salt prevents water from boiling.

• Salt raises water's boiling point.

Which evidence supports the claim for the above given scenario?

• Pot A boiled first

• 
  Salt was added to Pot B.

• 
  Pot B contained more water.

What is the reasoning behind the claim and evidence?

• 
  Salt attracts heat.

• 
  Salt evaporates quickly.

• 
  Dissolved salt requires less energy.
