Please could someone explain part iii of this question, it says the gradients are different due to a different specific heat capacity but the same substance is being heated?
Thanks!

In short, because the substance is in different states. You can google to find the specific heat of ice and water.
The gradient is related to the specific capacity of the substance in the respective state. (I would leave it for you to prove it).
