Answer 1

Sweet tea is an example of a mixture because it consists of two or more substances that are physically combined but can be separated by physical means, such as filtering or evaporation. In the case of sweet tea, it typically contains water, sugar, and tea leaves, each retaining their own properties and identities within the mixture.
