Worked Solution

Step 1: Evaporation rate increases with temperature, surface area, and wind. Step 2: Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air. Step 3: Higher humidity means the air is already full of water, slowing down evaporation.

Correct answer: Increasing the humidity of the surrounding air
