with which type of galaxy is a small galaxy most likely to merge? select the two correct answers

Question

a nearby galaxy
a much larger galaxy
a fast-moving galaxy
an equal-sized galaxy

Answer 1

The two correct answers are:

1. A nearby galaxy - Small galaxies are more likely to merge with galaxies that are in close proximity to them.

2. An equal-sized galaxy - Merging often occurs between galaxies of similar sizes, as they can more easily interact gravitationally.

So, the correct choices are: a nearby galaxy and an equal-sized galaxy.
