Why did Jesus answer their question with a question? Why didn`t he just say that his authority came from God?

The religious leaders asked Jesus who gave him the authority to chase away the merchants and money changers. Their question was a trap; if he had said his authority came from God, they would have accused him of blasphemy; if he had said his authority was his own, they would have dismissed him as a fanatic. To expose their real motives, Jesus countered their question with a question about John the Baptist. The leaders' silence proved that they were not interested in the truth, but simply wanted to get rid of Him because they felt as though he was undermining their authority.

Jesus taught that both believing and forgiving are key to effective prayer. Why do you think they are important?

They are importance, because one has to be clean before seeking God, and believing in him.

Yeah,they are;because if first of all some one does not believe in what he wants then even if he gets it,he will not value it.

Therefore if some one has faith in him and believes,then he can be patient for whatever period of time ,he will recieve it.

In the same way,forgiving is a good sin of love ,so for he who has no love,he rarely forgives ,but better when you forgive ,as as you will be free in your prayer and you will have peace and love.Hence the two points are the key terms to effective. prayer.
