Answer 1

Explanation:

Generally, I've found it's easier to separate the components in a heterogeneous mixture (e.g., the pickles from hamburgers) than the components in a homogeneous mixture (e.g., the rum from a Pia Colada) because it's easier to pick things apart when you can see the different components.
