Option 1 states that the Modem Slavery Bill is the first of its kind in Europe to address slavery and trafficking in the 21st century. This statement is correct. The Modem Slavery Bill, published by the British House of Commons in June 2014, is indeed the first bill in Europe to specifically target modern forms of slavery and human trafficking. It aims to provide better protection and support for victims, as well as tougher punishments for offenders.

Option 2 states that the bill fixes the maximum sentence for the most serious offenders to up to 14 years. This statement is not mentioned in the given explanation, leaving it unclear whether it is correct or not. However, it is possible that this information is incorrect because the provided explanation does not mention anything about sentencing provisions in the bill.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1 as statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not confirmed.
