Read the paragraph from the passage.
Baking soda can also be a leavening agent. It must be mixed with something acidic. Buttermilk and lemon juice are acidic. When mixed, a reaction produces gases. These gases make the batter rise. Beaten eggs or egg whites also cause batters to rise. They enclose air. The air forces the batter to expand in the oven’s heat.
The author uses a word that means “a process in which substances change.” Which word in the paragraph is closest to this meaning?

- Read the paragraph from the passage. Click the two sentences that best support the answer to part A.
A leavening agent is something used to lighten dough or batter. Leavening agents create air, steam, or carbon dioxide gas in the mixture. These substances cause the dough or batter to rise. Leavening agents give cakes and other foods their light, fluffy texture. Probably the most well-known leavening agents are baking powder and yeast. However, baking soda is also used to leaven. Beaten eggs or egg whites are leavening agents, too.
