Correct answers:
- decreasing the temperature of one of the reactants
- decreasing the surface area of one of the reactants

Explanation: Lowering temperature reduces molecular kinetic energy and collision frequency (slows the reaction). Reducing surface area decreases the area available for collisions (also slows the reaction). Increasing concentration and increasing temperature both increase reaction rate.
