Explanation
★The ordinal variables are the rank of army personnel and the level of irritation, so the answer is 1 and 4.
★An ordinal variable has ordered categories.
★The rank of army personnel is ordered by seniority, so statement 1 is ordinal.
★The level of irritation is ordered from low to high, so statement 4 is ordinal.
★Religion and caste are unordered categories, so they are nominal.
