Explanation:

Qualitative observations describe qualities or characteristics (e.g., color, texture, smell). Quantitative observations involve numbers and measurements.

• "Big" is a qualitative description of size (not a specific measurement).
• "Sour" is a qualitative description of taste.
• "Less" is a qualitative comparison (not a numerical value).
• "Pink" is a qualitative description of color.
• "More" is a qualitative comparison (not a numerical value).
• "3 cm" is a quantitative measurement (length).
• "Two grams" is a quantitative measurement (mass).
• "24 hours" is a quantitative measurement (time).
• "Light" (assuming in the sense of color or quality, not lumens) is a qualitative description.

Answer:

• Big: Qualitative
• Sour: Qualitative
• Less: Qualitative
• Pink: Qualitative
• More: Qualitative
• 3 cm: Quantitative
• Two grams: Quantitative
• 24 hours: Quantitative
• Light: Qualitative
