Explanation:

For question 14, acidic solutions weather rocks more effectively. The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution. Solution X has the lowest pH among the given options. For question 15, chemical weathering occurs when rocks interact with substances like water and oxygen. A larger surface - area provides more contact points for these interactions.

Answer:

1. B. solution X
2. C. Increased surface area allows for more interactions of rocks with water and oxygen.
