Solution

The statement that is true of a parliamentary government but not a presidential government is: "The legislative branch selects the head of government."

In a parliamentary system, the head of government (often called the Prime Minister) is chosen by the legislative branch (the parliament). This is different from a presidential system, where the head of government (the President) is directly elected by the people, and operates independently from the legislative branch.
