To prevent a grease fire from spreading, the correct actions would be:
1. **Use a cover:** If it's safe to do so, carefully place a metal lid or pan over the fire to smother it. This cuts off the oxygen supply and can help extinguish the flames.
2. **Use baking soda:** If the fire is small, sprinkling baking soda can help extinguish it since it releases carbon dioxide when heated, which can suffocate the flames.
3. **Avoid using water:** Water should never be used on grease fires, as it can cause the fire to spread explosively.
Given these options, the most appropriate responses are **A and B** (using a cover and using baking soda). Therefore, "A and B" would be the correct choice.
