Explanation
★Professional attitude cannot be expressed in quantitative terms in the same direct way, so that is the answer.
★An attitude is an inner feeling or disposition, which is qualitative in nature.
★So professional attitude is described in qualitative terms rather than as a direct measured quantity.
★Socio-economic status can be given a numerical score from income and other measures.
★Numerical aptitude is measured directly as a test score, clearly quantitative.
★Height is a plain measured quantity, so among these the professional attitude is the qualitative one.
