Choose the correct option:

Statement 1: When a plastic straw is rubbed with a piece of paper and brought near another plastic straw, it attracts the second straw.

Statement 2: A straw is said to have acquired electrostatic charge after it has been rubbed with a piece of paper. Therefore, it exerts an electrostatic force on the second straw and attracts it.
