Rank is typically considered a qualitative ordinal variable, as it represents a position or order among items based on certain criteria. While ranks are discrete in the sense that they take on specific, separate values (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd), they do not convey the magnitude of differences between those ranks. Thus, while rank is discrete, it is primarily qualitative due to its nature of indicating relative position rather than exact quantities.
A qualitative variable is a variable that has categorized values and the difference cannot be measured. A quantitative variable is a variable that consist of ordinary values and the difference can be measured. Depending on the type of class rank it can be both qualitative as quantitative.
Sales rank is a quantitative variable. The underlying value is sales, obviously a quantitative value. The median, minimum, maximum and percentile values are all quantitative statistics based on the ranking of data.

Area codes are discrete data.
Military rank is primarily a qualitative value, as it signifies a person's position, authority, and responsibilities within a military organization. While ranks can be assigned numerical values for organizational purposes, such as pay grades, the essence of rank reflects leadership capability, experience, and the trust placed in an individual by their superiors. Thus, it conveys more about qualitative aspects of leadership and command than mere numerical standing.
Qualitative. ranking simply orders them according to another variable which may be the quantitative one and has a measurable scale (e.g. GPA score or Sales figures) That is, we have a scale to compare a gpa score of 3.0 with 2.0
When the data consist of frequency for a set of qualitative categories, or when there are a small number of discrete quantitative categories or even a set of classes of equal width.
Nominal and ordinal variables are both qualitative or discrete variables. Nominal variables allow for only qualitative classification while an ordinal variable is a nominal variable, but its different states are ordered in a meaningful sequence.
Neither, since it is "qualitative data", not "quantitative". Only quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. (Unless your assigning a numerical "value" to each nationality type, in which case it would be quantitative discrete). Answer 2: If considering the percentage, eg 100% Irish, 50% Irish, etc., then it is theoretically a continuous variable, assuming an infinite number of generations. However, in terms of currently existing and past living people, for any nationality, it is a discrete variable.
Student rank in class is considered a qualitative measure, as it represents a student's position relative to their peers rather than a numerical value with consistent intervals. While ranks are often represented by numbers (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd), they categorize students into groups based on performance without implying equal differences between ranks. Therefore, student rank is more about ordinal classification than quantitative measurement.
