In this question, the examples are not included. Therefore, we cannot classify them. However, we can still define what folkways and mores are, which will allow you to classify them yourself.

Informal norms (those that are not written laws) are guided by values that are agreed upon by a particular community. These informal norms are further divided into folkways and mores. Folkways are rules that are not particularly offensive to violate, but that are still expected to be respected. On the other hand, while mores are also informal rules, their violation can lead to severe punishments. It can also lead to social sanction or social exclusion.
