Explanation:

1. For the first - part: Connective tissues with a large quantity of collagen fibers do not provide the framework for organs like the spleen and lymph nodes. The framework for the spleen and lymph nodes is provided by reticular connective tissue.
2. For the second - part: Connective tissues commonly have conspicuous fibers (such as collagen and elastic fibers), fibroblasts (the main cell type), collagen, and a ground substance with a gelatinous to rubbery consistency. A calcified matrix is not a common feature of all connective tissues. It is mainly characteristic of bone (a specialized connective tissue), but not of loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, etc.

Answer:

False
A calcified matrix
