Answer 1

The two blanket statements from the options provided are:

1. We always stick to our original plan and then regret it in the end.
2. It is never a good idea to make changes once a project is underway.

These statements are considered blanket statements because they make absolute claims using words like "always" and "never," which do not allow for exceptions or nuance.
