Answer to Question 2

E
Interval scales preserve the ordinal relationship (Brand Y is more preferred than Brand Z) and equal differences (the difference between Brand X and Brand Y is three times greater than the difference between Brand Y and Brand Z). However, equal ratios (Brand X is three times as preferred as Brand Z) would require a ratio scale.
