Comparing the values for h2o, ethanol, methanol, and oil why is h2o the most ideal moderator for controlling?

Question

Biology lab looked for the specific heat for Soil, sethanol, sbytanol, and smethanol

Answer 1

Water (H2O) is the most ideal because it has a positive charge on one end of the molecule and a negative charge on the other. That way it can interact with more different molecules. Also, because the positive and negative charges are weak, they can bind and let go of other molecules as the reaction proceeds. And in its liquid state water can suspend other molecules within itself.

Answer 2

Thew h2o is inert.
That is a guess, it is not presumed to be taken as fact.
The author claims no affinity for h2o.
