The two characteristics of a star that make it most likely to become a black hole are:
1. **Its mass is greater than 20 times the mass of the sun.**
2. **It is dying.**
A star must have a sufficiently high mass to undergo the gravitational collapse necessary to form a black hole, and it typically goes through a dying phase at the end of its life cycle when it can potentially collapse under its own gravity.
