Cereal is not a solution. Cereal is a mixture (cereal in milk) or a suspension such as cooked oatmeal or farina.
no... a solution has to have water and be clear
Actually I think mixture would be a better term for dry cereal. Now cereal with milk is very close to being a suspension, because it does not take the cereal long to settle out at the bottom of your bowl when you mix it in. A solution will not settle out.
Cereal with milk is considered a colloid. In this mixture, the cereal particles are suspended in the milk, which is a liquid, but they do not dissolve completely. This results in a heterogeneous mixture where the components can be distinguished, unlike a true solution where the solute is uniformly dissolved in the solvent. Thus, the cereal remains visible and can settle at the bottom if left undisturbed.
a bowl of cereal & milk because they dissolve into each other.

Water, I think clear lemon lime soda and probably not the milk and cereal in a bowl

Oh, dude, that's like a weird combo. So, the solution would be a mixture of all those things in a bowl. You know it's a solution because all the components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. But seriously, who puts all that stuff together?
Cereal is a food made from grains that can be eaten as breakfast with milk or yogurt. Salt water is water that contains a significant amount of dissolved salt. They are different in composition, taste, and purpose.
yes, because a solution is the "best-mixed" of all possible mixtures which consists of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. EX: if you bake cookie dough in the oven with Chocolate Chips they become chemically combined.
