The two correct answers regarding how global warming alters the albedo of the Arctic are:

  1. Melting glaciers to reveal darker soil.
  2. Melting sea ice to reveal darker water.

Both of these processes lead to a decrease in albedo, as darker surfaces absorb more solar radiation compared to lighter surfaces.
