peculiar galaxies regularly could be shown to be the top results of gravitational interplay with different galaxy/ies disrupting an initially ordinary shape. although, there's no such element as a "ordinary" galaxy. Galaxies that are actually not peculiar could be elliptical (the main user-friendly, over a million/2 of all galaxies), spiral, barred spiral. Ellipticals could be dwarf, or good sized (with 1000000000000 stars).
This was an Odysseyware lesson. With the reading before the questions. The reading contains the answers. But it takes a lot of work to find the answers in it. So thanks for the 77.7% completion.
Come on, these are so basic questions you should be able to answer them all in just 5-10 minutes if you research a bit.
