Instructions:
Read the following examples and then decide if each is either Qualitative (Q) or Quantitative (Qn).
Let’s analyze each example:
1. The bag has 5 red balls.
→ This includes a number ("5") and refers to countable items.
✔ Quantitative (Qn)
2. The leaves are green in color.
→ Describes color, which is a sensory characteristic.
✔ Qualitative (Q)
3. The amount of milk in the bottle is 100 mL.
→ Includes a measurement (100 mL), which is numerical.
✔ Quantitative (Qn)
4. My fingernail is 2 cm long.
→ A measurable length given numerically.
✔ Quantitative (Qn)
5. The cat is fluffy.
→ Describes texture (fluffiness), which is subjective.
✔ Qualitative (Q)
6. This liquid is clear.
→ Describes appearance (transparency), not a number.
✔ Qualitative (Q)
7. There are 10 students in the class.
→ Count of people — numerical data.
✔ Quantitative (Qn)
8. This flower is pink.
→ Color description — qualitative.
✔ Qualitative (Q)
9. The temperature is 25°C.
→ Measured value with units — quantitative.
✔ Quantitative (Qn)
10. The dog is small.
→ "Small" is a relative, subjective term. Not precise.
✔ Qualitative (Q)

Instructions:
Look at the following pictures. Write down what you can infer from each one.
We have two images:
#### Image 1:
- Shows a person standing next to a tree with a ladder leaning against it. The person appears to be picking fruit (possibly apples) from the tree.
- There is a basket on the ground filled with fruit.
Inference:
→ The person is harvesting fruit from the tree. They are likely collecting apples (or similar fruit) for consumption, sale, or storage. The use of a ladder suggests the fruit is high up. The basket indicates they’ve been gathering fruit for some time.
✔ Inference: *The person is picking fruit from the tree and collecting it in a basket.*
---
#### Image 2:
- Shows a plate with food: a sandwich, chips, and a drink (possibly soda or juice).
- A hand is reaching toward the food, and there’s a napkin nearby.
Inference:
→ Someone is about to eat a meal or snack. The presence of a sandwich, chips, and a drink suggests a casual lunch or snack time. The napkin implies cleanliness or preparation for eating.
✔ Inference: *Someone is preparing to eat a meal, possibly lunch or a snack.*
