a. most members are dwarf elliptical and irregulars.
b. it contains about 45 galaxies.
c. Its three big spirals are the Milky Way, M-31 in Andromeda, and M-33 in Triangulum.
d. It extends outward about 15 million light years beyond us.
Before anyone judges me of being lazy, please note that I do read the chapter, look online, and look in the lecture. I have an online class and the professor never responds to email. So, I am confusing myself by trying to figure out the answer. I read in my book that the Local Group has about 40 galaxies, then I found online somewhere it is about 54 galaxies. I cannot find how many light years the Local Group lies beyond us either. I really appreciate anyone's help.

D is false, it is only about 3 million LY in largest dimension

well D, BUT.....
Are you teling me you cant find this answer in the first few lines of the wikipedia entry on 'The Local Group?'
Maybe astronomy class isnt for you and you should stick with wood shop really. Definately dont take any class that has 'research' in the title.
you will fail!

d is incorrect. Only 10 million light years.
