The two states of matter in the globe before the light is turned on are solid and liquid, as solids have a fixed shape and volume, while liquids have a fixed volume but adapt in shape to their container.

Before the light is turned on in the globe, the two states of matter present are solid and liquid. Solids have a definite shape and volume, which is illustrated by an object like an ice sculpture. Liquids have a definite volume but change shape to conform to the container they are in, as seen with a drop of water

. Gases have no definite shape or volume and occupy the space of their container completely, like the air around clouds. Since the globe before being illuminated does not involve extreme energies required to create plasma, and there is no indication of gas within the globe, the correct answer is option 1) Solid and liquid.
