Explanation:

Let’s break it down statement by statement:

- The 32nd Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo in 2021 (originally planned for 2020).

- The official motto for Tokyo 2020 was actually “United by Emotion.” “A New World” was the motto for the 2016 Rio Olympics. So, statement 1 is incorrect.

- As for statement 2, yes—Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, Karate, and Baseball/Softball all made their debut or return at Tokyo 2020. This statement is spot-on.

So, the right answer is:
