A normative statement expresses a value judgment and advocates for a particular course of action or outcome. In this case, the statement "The price of gasoline should be less than $2 per gallon" reflects a normative judgment about what the price of gasoline ought to be. The other statements, while potentially informative or descriptive, do not express a normative judgment.
