a fact that most readers are likely to already know

Answer 1

The two types of information that do not require a citation are:

1. **A personal anecdote from the student’s experience** - This is personal information that is unique to the student and does not need to be cited.

2. **A fact that most readers are likely to already know** - Common knowledge does not require citation, as it is widely accepted and known by a large audience.

The other options, such as an audio clip from a news broadcast, a social media post, and an interview, would require citations for proper attribution.
