Answer to Question 1

Elliptical galaxies (class E) have no disk, no spiral arms, and almost no gas and dust. They range from huge giants to small dwarfs. Spiral galaxies (class S) are disk-shaped and usually have spiral arms and contain gas and dust. Some of these have a central region shaped like an elongated bar and are called barred spiral galaxies (class SB). A few disk galaxies contain relatively little gas and dust; these are called lenticular galaxies (class S0). Irregular galaxies (class I) are generally shapeless and tend to be rich in gas and dust.

Answer to Question 2

False

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
