Answer 1

The two correct items that provide evidence supporting the Big Bang theory are:

1. Cosmic background radiation - This is the afterglow radiation from the Big Bang and is a key piece of evidence for the theory.
2. Composition of matter in the universe - The proportions of light elements (hydrogen, helium, and lithium) produced during Big Bang nucleosynthesis support the predictions made by the Big Bang theory.

So the answers are:

• Cosmic background radiation
• Composition of matter in the universe.
