Ms.Tucker put some sugar in a pitcher of iced tea. Why is Ms.Tucker stirring the iced tea? 

• Stirring makes the iced tea colder

• Stirring keeps the sugar from forming into larger pieces

• The sugar will not dissolve unless she stirs the iced tea

• Stirring makes the sugar dissolve more quickly

When no more sugar will dissolve in a glass of water, the solution is

• unsaturated

• supersaturated

• saturated

• suspended
