Answer 1

Based on the understanding of stellar evolution, the two correct statements are:

1. **Massive stars evolve more quickly than average stars.**
2. **Average stars evolve more slowly than massive stars.**

These statements accurately reflect the relationship between the mass of a star and its evolutionary path, where more massive stars have shorter lifespans and evolve more rapidly compared to less massive (average) stars.
