PROBLEM: Passage: I recently made spaghetti for dinner . I first got out a large pot , filled it with water , and placed it on a burner turned up to high heat . I also put a dash of salt into the water , since this is supposed to help it boil more quickly .  While this heated , I grabbed a box of dry pasta and measured out the amount that I wanted into another container .  I allowed the pasta to boil for 8 minutes , according to the directions of the pasta box . I set a timer to prevent overcooking . One the timer went off , I stopped it , turned off the burner , and put on oven mitts .  While wearing the oven mitts , I poured the pasta and water into the colander . I then removed the colander from the sink and placed the pasta into a bowl so that it was ready to have sauce added to it . Question: what was boiling the pasta? Option1: the water in the pot Option2: the pot

SOLUTION:
the water in the pot
