Answer:

more rapid

Step-by-step explanation:

A higher temperature of fresh concrete results in a more rapid hydration of cement. This causes reduction in the setting time of the cement, also known as accelerated setting of the cement.

It also reduces the workability of the concrete; as it makes the movement of aggregates harder by reducing the lubricating effect of the cement.
