Question Analysis
This question tests the student's understanding of the "like dissolves like" principle and the polarity of molecules.

Key Concept Explanation
The "like dissolves like" principle states that polar solvents can dissolve polar or ionic solutes, and nonpolar solvents can dissolve nonpolar solutes. Ethanol and water are both polar molecules, allowing them to mix and form a homogeneous solution.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Identify the polarity of ethanol and water: both are polar molecules.
2. Apply the "like dissolves like" principle: polar solvents dissolve polar solutes...
