1. N, 2. D, 3. D, 4. D, 5. N, 6. N: N - Normative, D - Descriptive

Normative are statements that use should, would, could, or must. "Ought" is a different form of the word "should". Descriptive is giving a statement in which you state that one thing IS the case. For example: Some say vanilla is the best flavor of ice cream.
