Have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of there container?
gases
Do solids take up the shape of a container?
No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
Why do liquids and gases take the shape of their containers while solids do not?
The molecules of liquids and gasses are not tightly arranged or packed. It is due to this arrangement they can move freely. Thus, take the shape of the container. Whereas in solids the molecules are tightly arranged they don't have place to move. Thus ,they don't take the shape of the container.
How are liquid mass and liquid volume alike?
Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.

Solids conform to your needs. [As distinct from gases and liquids.]
Does a solid retains shape or takes the shape of its container?
Solids retain their shape. It is liquids, gasses, and plasmas that take the shape of their containers.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
