Both. Your related has to be about belonging and relate to the crucible
The idea of AOS is to answer a question about belonging whilst simultaneously comparing and contrasting ideas between your related and prescribed.
Also it could 2 films, 2 novels or whatever.
Generally it is recommended that you choose a variety of texts so you can pull out different techniques however if you analyse 2 very well, i dont see why they'd deduct marks for similar text types.

Some modules need related texts, others don't.
When a module does need a related text, its best to have 2 up your sleeve because they can ask for one related text or at least one related text, so 2 will mean you are prepared for either of these options.

Dont really understand you here.
It is recommended that you have 2 related texts for belonging however theyve asked for just one 4 or 5 years in a row. But better safe than sorry!

I used the same related text for belonging and module A and I got 10/15 in the belonging essay (The Crucible and belonging to place do not mix) and 17/20 for my mod A essay. So yes, you can use the same texts for different modules.
I suggest at least two in total (two for each module) and I suggest that you make them relate to the core idea (belonging, DV, into the world, etc.) and then to the text, but you should be able to link to the text, but the module/AOS is more important to relate to because you have to answer a question about those ideas.

So i would need 2 related text for the crucible
And two for wilfred Owens poetry or just the crucible which was our main focus on belonging(19/20) for essay :)
