Explanation:

1 only

Statement 1 is correct. Adjournment sine die is indeed the termination of a sitting of the house without any definite date being fixed for the next sitting. It effectively ends the current session.

Statement 2 is incorrect. Prorogation is the termination of a session of the house, but it is not solely done by the Speaker. While the Speaker can recommend prorogation to the President (in the case of the Lok Sabha) or the Governor (in the case of the Rajya Sabha), prorogation is ultimately done by the President or the Governor, as the case may be.

Therefore, the correct option is 1 only.
