{'olympics': [0, 1, 0, 2], '32nd summer olympics': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'official motto': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sport climbing': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'skateboarding': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'new world': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'baseball': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'karate': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

The correct answer to this question is option 2: "2 only". This means that only the second statement is accurate.

Here`s why:

The first statement is incorrect. The official motto of the 32nd Summer Olympics, held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021, was `United by Emotion`, not `A New World`.

The second statement is correct. The 32nd Summer Olympics did indeed include new sports - Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, Karate and Baseball made their debut, expanding the scope of the competition and making it more inclusive for a variety of participants worldwide.

That`s why option 2 is the accurate answer - only the second statement is correct. The other options (1 only, Both 1 and 2, Neither 1 nor 2) cannot be the right responses because they either include the incorrect statement 1 or fail to include the correct statement 2.
