I think B, D, and E are right. Skills can be developed, so it’s soft.

I thought "Sentiment" was one of the options, but I don't see it in the list. I guess it must be "Skills" instead.

I practiced a similar question before, and I think "Style," "Staff," and "Skills" were the ones I picked. I hope that's right!

I think "Style" and "Staff" are definitely soft elements, but I'm a bit confused about the third one. Maybe it's "Skills"?

I remember that the soft elements are more about the human side of the organization, but I'm not completely sure which ones they are.
