1. Yes.

2. Both are declarative sentences.
Yes, #1 is a declarative sentence.

In #2, both are declarative sentences.
But for #2, I think only one of them is right as I can only choose one of them.
Anyway, thanks.
Please check with your instructor about # 2. Both Writeacher and I are certified English teachers with many years of teaching English.

Also -- if one of those sentences is not declarative, which of the other three types of sentences could it be?

An imperative sentence makes a command or request.
An interrogative sentence asks a question.
An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feeling.
