1. The Magellanic clouds are
A irregulargalaxies.
B spiralgalaxies.
C ellipticalgalaxies.
D globular clusters.

2. How does the density wave model of spiral arms explain that they are brighter than the areas between the arms?
A There are more starsper unit volume in the arms than in between.
B Brighter stars are in thespiral arms because they follow along with the arms as theymove.
