Answer: Takes shape of its container.

Explanation: A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you have a pint of water and you place it in a glass, you still have a pint of water. Unlike a solid, a liquid does not have a fixed shape. The shape of a liquid depends on the container is placed in. Water inside a tall, thin glass will look tall and thin. Water in a short, wide glass will look short and wide. The shape of a liquid is said to be variable, which means it changes.
