Answer 1

1. Argumentative. The author of this statement is taking position on an issue (a ban on drones) by describing an opinon: "many politicians believe that... ."
2. Informative. This statement is factual and does not contain any subjective vocabulary.
3. Argumentative. Here again, a verb indicates the expression of an opinion: "should be allowed." This removes objectivity from the statement as the author is trying to convince the reader to allow cell phones at school.
