Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Poor solvent for given ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Solvent for ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction:

In high temperature $\text{E2}$ reaction is favored than ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$, at the moderate temperature is required for ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction so that moderate boiling point containing solvent is suitable for ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$.
