Explanation:

Speaker is the final interpreter of the provisions of (a) the Constitution of India, (b) the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of Lok Sabha, and (c) the parliamentary precedents, within the House.Speaker is the guardian of powers and privileges of the members, the House as a whole and its committees.The main duty of Speaker Pro Tem is to administer oath to the new members. He also enables the House to elect the new Speaker. Therefore, it is not President who enables the the House to elect the new Speaker (hence statement 2 is wrong).
