Explanation / Answer

1)true 2)c 3)At a distance of 160 million light years 4)b 5)ellliptical in shape 6)it follows curved path 7)Hubble's law is the name for the astronomical observation in physical cosmology that: (1) all objects observed in deep space (interstellar space) are found to have a doppler shift observable relative velocity to Earth, and to each other; and (2) that this doppler-shift-measured velocity, of various galaxies receding from the Earth, is proportional to their distance from the Earth and all other interstellar bodies
