Skeletal muscles can indeed be named based on several criteria. Here are the relevant criteria you can select:

  1. Number of origins - True
  2. Muscle shape - True
  3. Type of muscle fiber - False (typically not a naming criterion)
  4. Direction of muscle fibers - True
  5. Location of muscle - True
  6. Relative size of muscle - True
  7. How much actin and myosin they contain - False (not a standard naming criterion)

So, the True statements for naming skeletal muscles would be: number of origins, muscle shape, direction of muscle fibers, location of muscle, and relative size of muscle.
