Explanation:

1. For the first question: A USB drive is the most common, modern portable media to create a bootable Linux installation medium. A second monitor is not required, CD-ROMs are outdated and not universal, and an Ethernet cable is only for optional network access during install, not a required device.
2. For the second question: Virtual Machine (VM) is widely recommended for academic courses because it allows running Linux within an existing OS without modifying the host system, provides a safe, isolated environment for learning, and is compatible with most operating systems.

Answer:

1. a USB drive
2. virtual machine (VM)
