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.
Any liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Yes, water takes the shape of its container but maintains its volume. It is a liquid and thus flows to fit the space it occupies, yet it retains a constant volume unless it undergoes a phase change, such as freezing or boiling.
Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.
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.
A solid object has both volume and shape. Volume refers to the amount of space it occupies, while shape refers to its physical form or configuration.

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.
it helps keep your eyes shape
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.

Almost every substance can change its shape under the correct conditions. Certain stubstances are known for being fluid or liquid under normal room temperatures, such as mercury (also called quicksilver), water and ethanol.
