Answer 1

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

1. **a personal anecdote from the student’s experience** - Personal experiences and anecdotes do not need citations as they are based on the student's own life.

2. **a fact that most readers are likely to already know** - Common knowledge or widely accepted facts that are generally known by the audience do not require citations.

The other options would typically require citation to give credit to the original sources.
