Explanation:

- Statement (1) describes the usual first step of an audit, which is a pre-examination or opening meeting to outline the audit process.

- Statement (2) states that the next step involves checking if documented procedures meet a reference standard — this is correct, as suitability of documents is often reviewed early.

- Statement (3) says the auditor checks the actual implementation of the quality system — this is also correct, as practice must match documentation.

- Option 1 (True): Only supports the first statement, but does not confirm the accuracy of the process as a whole.

- Option 2 (False): States the process is incorrect, which is untrue.

- Option 3 (Both of these): Implies that both True and False apply, which is confusing and not standard.

- Option 4 (None of these): Means none of the provided options fit, which is not accurate.

The most correct answer is Option 1: True.
