Explanation:

1. Blond hairs on a brown - haired suspect's gloves are class evidence. Blond hair is a general characteristic shared by many people, not unique to a single individual.
2. A torn - up restaurant receipt is individual evidence. The unique serial number, date, time, and items on the receipt can link it to a specific transaction and potentially a specific individual.
3. A piece of duct tape from a victim and a roll of the same brand at a suspect's home is class evidence. Many rolls of that brand of duct tape exist, and the brand alone does not uniquely identify the specific tape used in the crime.

Answer:

1. Class. Blond hair is a common trait among many.
2. Individual. Receipt has unique details.
3. Class. Same brand tape is common.
