Answer 1

A liquid takes the shape of its container, forms a horizontal surface, and has a fixed volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

A liquid is described by the following properties:

Takes the shape of its container: Unlike solids, liquids do not have a definite shape and will conform to the shape of the container they are placed in.

Forms a horizontal surface: Liquids have a free surface, which is always horizontal when the container is at rest.

Has a fixed volume: Liquids maintain a constant volume, meaning they do not compress or expand significantly under normal conditions.

Answer 2

C) fixed volume, takes the shape of it's container. D would be describing a gas, and A a solid.
