{'lok sabha rule': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'state legislature': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'legislative assembly': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'customary address': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'rule': [8, 0, 0, 8], 'first session': [6, 0, 3, 3], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The first statement is correct. The Governor of a State makes a customary address to Members of the House at the commencement of the first session of the year.

The second statement is not entirely correct. When a State Legislature does not have a rule on a particular matter, it generally follows the rules and procedures of its own House, and not the Lok Sabha. However, the Lok Sabha rules can serve as a reference point for State Legislatures in framing their own rules.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

  1. The Governor makes a customary address to Members of the House at the commencement of the first session of the year. (Correct)
  2. When a State Legislature does not have a rule on a particular matter, it generally follows the rules and procedures of its own House, and not the Lok Sabha. However, the Lok Sabha rules can serve as a reference point for State Legislatures in framing their own rules. (Partially correct)
