Solution

A statement or a proposition is an assertive (or a declarative) sentence which is either true or false but not both.

Example (1) : "Who lost this watch?" is an interrogative sentence. Hence, it is not a statement.

Example (2) : The sentence : x + 2 =9 is an open sentence. Its truth value cannot be confirmed unless we are given the value of x. So, it is not a statement.

Example (3) : The sentence " May god bless you !" is an exclamatory sentence, So, it is not a statement.
