Hi! I just need help with answer number 2, if u can answer number one for me that would be appreciated as well!

These two historians share ideas on the importance of history, both claiming that it is a vital thing to remember the past. However, they are looking at it from altered perspectives.

Explanation:

The first historian claims that history is the reason for the way we are, in other words, that the past has played a major role in the values we hold and the way that our society functions. For this very reason, we can infer that the historian believed that we should also learn from our mistakes given that our present society right now is still far from perfect. The second historian shares a similar idea, however, puts the focus on the fact that our history wasn't perfect, and that's why we need to shift our attention to making sure our future is. After taking this into account, we can infer that both historians highlight the importance of history, whether that be for the present or the future.
