Qualitative descriptions are best used to convey:

  1. Narrow measurements and statistics

  2. Colors and textures

  3. The exact size of an object

  4. Simple numerical values

The correct answer is: Colors and textures

Qualitative descriptions are designed to convey non-numerical attributes, such as sensory experiences, emotions, and characteristics that cannot be easily quantified. This includes information about colors, textures, sounds, tastes, and other qualities that provide a deeper understanding of an object or experience beyond simple numeric data. In this context, using qualitative descriptions to discuss colors and textures allows for a richer, more immersive experience that engages the reader's senses and imagination, effectively painting a picture of the subject in question.
