Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rating system provided by the hotel has a clear order or hierarchy of categories, with "excellent" being the highest and "poor" being the lowest. However, the rating system does not have a fixed starting point, nor is there a specific numerical value associated with each category, which rules out options B and D. Option C, nominal scale, would be appropriate if the categories were labeled with names that didn't imply any order, such as "red, blue, green" or "male, female, non-binary."
