"Given the following liquids: water, x, y, and z, water is the most effective liquid with which to extinguish a fire in terms of a, b, and c."

For x, y and x, list the other liquids you are testing
for a,b, and c, list your criteria for effectiveness, for example time the liquid takes to extinguish the fire, amount of the liquid needed to extinguish the fire, etc.

Water is suitable for most fires, but not all. For liquids such as gasoline which float on water, you need a foam which can float on the gasoline to keep air away from it. For fires involving electrical equipment, you need a dry powder extinguisher, or Halon, which interrupts fire chemistry to put out a fire quickly.

well the hypothesis would be:
If a fire is erupting, then the most suitable liquid to use to extinguish the fire is water.
