Answer

Here are the correct matches: 1. Classifying by dividing a map or picture into sections: geographical Explanation: 'Geographical' refers to anything related to geography or the spatial distribution of phenomena. Dividing a map or picture into sections often relates to spatial classification. 2. Classifying by condition or kind: qualitative Explanation: 'Qualitative' data describes characteristics or qualities that cannot be numerically measured, often categorizing by type, condition, or kind rather than amount. 3. Classifying which came first, second, third, etc., in the sequence of events: chronological Explanation: 'Chronological' refers to arranging events or data in the order in which they occurred in time. The sequence of events (first, second, third) is a direct indicator of chronological order. 4. Obtaining numerical values associated with the information being collected: quantitative Explanation: 'Quantitative' data are numerical and can be measured or counted. Obtaining numerical values is the core characteristic of quantitative data collection. 5. Organizing data: ranking the data Explanation: 'Ranking the data' is a method of organizing data by assigning ranks (first, second, third, etc.) based on some criterion. While 'organizing data' is a broad concept, 'ranking' is a specific method of organization that fits the provided options better than the others for a general organization definition.
