The two correct answers are:

1) The audience - The type of vocabulary used in a text will depend on the intended audience. Different audiences may have different levels of knowledge or understanding, so the vocabulary used to communicate with them will vary accordingly.

2) The subject - The topic or subject matter of a text will also determine the type of vocabulary that is used. For example, a technical or scientific text may require specialized terminology, while a children's book may use simpler, more accessible language.
