The two correct answers that are most likely to affect whether a galaxy will evolve by merging with a second galaxy are:
1. **Its distance from the other galaxy**
2. **Its size compared to that of the other galaxy**
The distance between galaxies can influence the likelihood of gravitational interactions and merging, while the size can affect the dynamics of a merger and the resulting structure of the merged galaxy.
