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 original content and does not need a citation.

2. A fact that most readers are likely to already know - Common knowledge does not typically require citation.

The other options, such as social media posts, audio clips from broadcasts, and interviews, would generally need citations as they are sourced from other authors or creators.
