I would say the benzene, but could be wrong!

Benzene because ethanol is slighty polar due to the hydroxyl group, whereas benzene and hexane are both nonpolar.

sounds correct to me

I say that because they both have the more similar structure than the ethanol has a Polar OH end which would not mix well Hexane and Benzene which are both nonpolar it might partly disolve with it, but not as good as benzene.

hm.. I'm suffering from a limited vocabulary (I'm Danish) when it comes to chemistry, but I agree with what you say.
Ethanol (or for that matter all of the simpler alcholes) mixes with both polar and nonpolar matters, but I'm not quite sure if it's worse than benzene. To be honest, I have no idea how the unique structure of benzene affects its ability to blend with other nonpolar substances...
To sum it up: Me no spaek engrish, me has summer holiday, no remember!
