  2. The student's self-reported confidence in their puzzle-solving ability, rated on a scale of 1 (extremely low) to 10 (extremely high).
  3. The exact time, in seconds, taken by the student to complete the puzzle.

Which of the following correctly identifies the levels of measurement for these three variables, in order?

A
