The two types of information that do not require a citation are:
1. **a fact that most readers are likely to already know** - Common knowledge does not require citation, as it is widely recognized and accepted information.
2. **a personal anecdote from the student’s experience** - Personal experiences and anecdotes are considered original thoughts and do not need to be cited.
The other options, including interviews, social media posts, and audio clips from broadcasts, would generally require citations as they are sourced information.
