Correct

Sentences that state a claim are:

* Students should have vision tests before they can operate motor vehicles.

* Driving classes should add instruction about the dangers of texting and driving.

* Behind-the-wheel courses ought to include driving time on local highways.

A claim is a statement of something as a fact, an assertion of truth, an asseveration, a declaration made emphatically, which could be either true or false. Since there is a possibility for a claim to be true or false, it is open to argumentation.

The other two sentences, are just informative statements, they are not asserting anything that could be true or false, and become argumentative.
