Question

water is a universal solvent because it... floats when frozen freezes when it gets cold can be found anywhere dissolves most substances

Explanation:

To determine why water is a universal solvent, we analyze each option:

• "floats when frozen" describes water's density change on freezing, not its solvent property.
• "freezes when it gets cold" is about water's freezing point, not solvency.
• "can be found anywhere" refers to water's abundance, not its ability to dissolve substances.
• "dissolves most substances" matches the definition of a universal solvent (a substance that dissolves a wide range of solutes).

Answer:

dissolves most substances (the option in the cyan - colored box)
