The correct answers are:

1. He criticizes his own argument

2. He says civic virtue can be taught

Explanation:

The reasons he mentioned was that if virtue could be taught so teachers or virtue would exist and there aren't any people doing that.

Protagoras answers back saying that they become his students into good citizens because civic virtue can be taught.
