Answer 1

To help the author decide which facts to include in an explanatory text, the two best questions would be:

1. Will the fact support my thesis statement?
2. Will the fact help the reader understand the topic?

These questions focus on the relevance and clarity of the information in relation to the main points of the text, ensuring that the content is coherent and informative for the reader.
