Answer 1

The phrase "like dissolves like" refers to the principle that substances with similar characteristics, such as polarity or intermolecular forces, tend to dissolve in each other.

In the options provided, "Alcohol mixing with water" is the best illustration of this concept, as both alcohol (typically polar) and water (polar) can mix well together.

So, the correct response is Alcohol mixing with water.
