Question

Which statement best tells how the underlined words in the paragraph are related?

I was helping Aunt Mimi cook noodles for a pan of lasagna. After I filled a pot full of water, Aunt Mimi added some salt to it. When I asked her why she put salt in the water, she told me that the salt acts as a catalyst and creates a reaction. The salt increases the rate at which the water will begin to boil. This way the water boils faster, so the lasagna noodles will be ready quicker.
