Question 15 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)

In both biscuit recipes, why does the author begin the instructions with "Preheat oven to 450 degrees”?

Answer
A
so the oven is warm when the dough is ready to bake
B
so the reader can begin warming the butter before adding it
C
so the reader can keep the various ingredients warm
D
so the biscuits can start warming before the dough is ready

Explanation

Preheating takes time, so the author has the oven heating while the reader prepares the biscuit dough. That way, when the dough is ready, it can go straight into a hot oven. The correct choice is A, “so the oven is warm when the dough is ready to bake.”
