Question 24 • Lollar_8Science_Q1_25-26_RC

Which phrase accurately describes an elliptical galaxy?

Answer
A
may be spiral-shaped
B
has no recognizable shape
C
has no new stars being formed
D
has a lot of gas and dust between stars

Explanation

Elliptical galaxies contain very little cold gas and dust, so they have little material available to form new stars. Therefore, “has no new stars being formed” is the best description. They do have a recognizable elliptical shape, and spiral-shaped galaxies are a different galaxy type.
