To separate two liquids that have formed a solution, the best method among the options provided would be:
**heating the liquids and letting one boil away first.**
This method is known as distillation, which utilizes the different boiling points of the liquids to separate them. The other options, like filtering or collecting with a spoon, would not be effective methods for separating dissolved liquids in a solution. Waiting for the liquids to separate might not work if they are completely miscible or form a homogeneous mixture.
