Answer 1

The scale of Measurement:  Nominal

Defend why you think it is this scale of measurement: As there are Variables name stands for the there name only they have no order, so the data is nominal.

Highest measure of central tendency: Mode is the best measure of central tendency.

Highest measure of variability: Range

(For nominal variables, since the categories are not ordered, the range is simply the number of categories with at least one response. For other variables, the range is the difference between the highest and lowest value.)
