Answer 1

The description environment might come in handy:

To customize indentation, spacing, ... take a look at the enumitem package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum} % Just used for dummy text via the \lipsum command. Do not use in real document.
\begin{document}

\lipsum[4]

\begin{description}
\item[Nominal scale] \lipsum[5]
\end{description}

\lipsum[4]
\end{document}
