Here’s how the arguments would be categorized:

Sound
(No arguments meet the criteria for being sound.)

Valid but unsound

  1. John Adams, John Quincy Adams' father, was a Federalist. (This statement is valid as it correctly identifies John Adams as a Federalist; however, an argument based on this may not necessarily be sound if the conclusion drawn from it is false or lacks supporting premises.)

Invalid

  1. The nineteenth amendment gave women in the United States the right to vote. (This is a factual statement and does not function as an argument with premises leading to a conclusion.)
  2. A world war is fought by multiple nations in multiple countries. (This is a definition rather than an argument with premises and a conclusion.)

Feel free to adjust if more context is provided regarding what constitutes an argument in this context!
