Fill terms of rooting methods in the gaps below.

(1) is a homologous sequence that diverged at an early evolutionary time comparing to the studied sequences. So, using such sequence you can find root in a tree successfully. However, if you can't find such sequence, you should use (2) approach. Essentially, it computes the intermediate distance between the two most diverged groups and place root there.
