The reduction of a metal oxide if the metals formed is in ___state at the temperature of readuction

Statement-1: The reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal formed is in liquid state at he temperature of reduction. Statement-2: The value of entropy change DeltaS of the reduction process is more on +ve side when the metal formed is in liquid state and the metal oxide being reduced in a solid state. Thus, the value of the DeltaG becomes more or negative side.
