According to the given statements, statement I states that adjournment is a short recess within the session of Parliament ordered by the Presiding Officer. This statement is true. Adjournment refers to a temporary suspension of the proceedings of the House. Similarly, statement II states that when the Presiding Officer adjourns the House without fixing any date or time of the next meeting, it is known as adjournment sine die.
