Q. Statement 1: In the $E_{2}$ elimination,$\beta-H$ and leaving group should be antiperiplanar.
Statement 2: In the $E_{2}$ elimination, base always abstracts unhindered $\beta-H$

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

Correct Explanation:In $E_{2}$ elimination reaction, base preferentially abstracts that $\beta-H$ which gives the more stable product. Benzyl halide undergo hydrolysis by $S_{N}1$ mechanise.
