Likelihood ratio test for the rate of a shifted exponential

Let XX be a random sample of size one from the probability density function

f(x∣θ)={θe−θ(x−1),if x>1,0,otherwise,f(x\mid\theta)=\begin{cases}\theta e^{-\theta(x-1)},&\text{if }x>1,\\0,&\text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

where θ(>0)\theta(>0) is the unknown parameter. Suppose we want to test the null hypothesis H0:θ=1H_0:\theta=1 against the alternative hypothesis H1:θ≠1H_1:\theta\neq1, based on the observed value xx of XX. Then, which of the following statements are true?
