The two correct statements that describe elliptical galaxies are:

  1. They typically contain very little gas and dust.
  2. They include the universe's largest galaxies.

Elliptical galaxies generally have a smooth, featureless light profile and are known for lacking significant amounts of gas and dust, which inhibits star formation. They can also include some of the largest galaxies in the universe.
