Explanation:

- Statement (1): `'All that glitters is not gold' is a proverb.`

- A proverb is a short, commonly known saying that conveys a piece of advice or wisdom. This statement is true as it fits the definition.

- Statement (2): `'Honesty is the best policy' can be an idiom or phrase.`

- An idiom is a phrase with a meaning that isn't deducible from the individual words. A phrase is a small group of words that conveys a concept. "Honesty is the best policy" is a proverb, conveying a piece of advice and not necessarily an idiomatic expression or just a phrase. Hence, this is false.

- Option 1: Only statement (1) is true.

- Option 2: Only statement (2) is true.

- Option 3: Both statements are true.

- Option 4: Both statements are false.

Answer: Option 1 is correct. .
