The two correct answers that explain why an author would include a flashback as an element of nonlinear plot development in a story are:

1. **to provide the reader with background information about characters or events**
2. **to give the reader a hint about what may happen later in the story**

Flashbacks often serve to enrich the narrative by providing context and depth, which helps the reader understand the characters and events more fully. They can also foreshadow future developments by revealing important connections or motivations.
