The two correct answers that give the best clues about how closely related different groups are when reading a phylogenetic tree are:
1. **The nodes that show a recent common ancestor.**
2. **The branching patterns that show how lineages split.**
These features provide important information about evolutionary relationships and the relative relatedness of different groups.
