Answer:

SN2 reactions are faster in polar, aprotic solvents: those that lack hydrogen-bond donating capability. ... By using an aprotic solvent we can raise the reactivity of the nucleophile. This can sometimes have dramatic effects on the rate at which a nucleophilic substitution reaction can occur.
