Which of the following statements is true regarding the particle structure of liquids? Particles of a liquid are:

• very close together, so the liquid cannot easily change its shape.

• fast-moving, so they fill the volume of their container.

• relatively close together, so they cannot be easily compressed.

• very far apart, so they have plenty of room to move around.
