Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.
Unless you change it (e.g.: smash it) But it will keep the shape it is smashed in. Solids stay in their shape unless something else changes it for them. Or if it becomes a liquid by melting or a solid through sublimation.
A liquid has an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
Even though a liquid can change shape to fit in to a square, circular, rectagular or evenÊaÊflatÊcontainer, Liquid still retains its volume. Liquids always have a definate volume but they can always change shape.
Yes, water is a liquid and any given amount of liquid will contain the same volume. Although does not keep its definition shape. Meinert
A solid has a volume and a shape a liquid has a volume but no certain shape a gas has no certain volume and no certain shape

Liquids always take the shape of the container that they are in. This is the basic definition of a liquid.
The answer is simply no.
Doesn't possesses a certain shape but has some volume.
A liquid has a certain volume, flows, and assumes the shape of it's container.

The energy the particles contain is not enough to break the intermolecular or interatomic forces holding the solid in its place. They can vibrate to a certain degree, but cannot move freely like a liquid or gas.
