Explanation:

Statement 1: Only one who is 18 years old or more and who has the right to vote is a member of the Gram Sabha. The Gram Sabha is a meeting of all adults who live in the area covered by a Panchayat. This could be only one village or a few villages.

Statement 2: The Gram Sabha prevents the Panchayat from doing wrong things like misusing money or favouring certain people. It plays an important role in keeping an eye on the elected representatives and in making them responsible to the persons who elected them.
