The two characteristics of a star that make it most likely to become a black hole are:
1. **It is dying.**
2. **Its mass is greater than 20 times the mass of the sun.**
A star needs to be significantly more massive than the sun, typically at least 20 times its mass, and it usually ends its life in a supernova explosion, leading to the formation of a black hole.
