Then I suppose that #1 is correct for 'ideational function'. It seems rather ham-handed, though. My guesses as a bold layman:
1. I understand your concealed thought.-- ideational?
2. This thing is a kind of flower vase.--directive?
3. Columbus discovered America in 1492.-- referential?
4. Tomorrow, there will be a big typhoon in the mid-region.--contextual?
