Explanation:
Benzene is more able to dissolve many organic substances than a saturated hydrocarbon such as hexane, this is becuase the pi cloud of the benzene ring is able to interact with the pi clouds of various solutes. For example polystyrene will be solvated better by benzene than by hexane for this reason.
