10. All stars form from two key factors: the presence of material which can condense into a solid mass, and gravity, the force which results in the compaction of the material. New stars are essentially formed from old stars which have exploded or died out and have become stardust. When this stardust accretes (becomes condensed) again, the temperature increases, and when the proper conditions are present, a nuclear "furnace" can be the result. In the furnaces within stars, atoms are fused together. Fusion is the process where, under extreme heat and temperature, atoms combine and give off byproducts. This process creates the heat, light, and other particle emissions we experience from our own Sun, which is 93 million miles away from Earth, and considered to be a "main sequence" or somewhat "typical" star, at least as to here in our Milky Way Galaxy, which is thought to contain hundreds of millions of stars.

Be fair, Goodgoalie. The questioner has tried to answer the questions on their own and is only asking us to check those answers. That seems like an excellent approach to studying to me.
Of those answers, I agree with 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 & 10.
For Q3, answer C is clearly incorrect because Ceres has a diameter of around 950km and Pluto's diameter is over 2000km. However everything in the list orbits the Sun, so the required answer is A.
For Q6, it's not the volume of a celestial body which is important. For example, a gaseous body could occupy a great deal of space without there being very much of it. It's that 'how much of it' factor, which is important, i.e. the mass (Answer B)
This might help with Q9 (because you've only copied the question in your post, rather than providing an answer):

1st section answer is C
2nd section B or C not sure, but all Galaxies contain gas and dust
3rd section A
4th section B
5th section C
6th section B
7th section B
8th section A
I think you have 9 and 10 about correct but not certain.
Sorry if I'm wrong but it's difficult scrolling up and down to keep checking the question against your answers.
