To solve this, we need to sort each word into either
Abstract Nouns or
Concrete Nouns.
Remember:
-
Concrete nouns = things you can see, touch, hear, smell, or taste. They are physical.
-
Abstract nouns = ideas, feelings, qualities — you can’t physically sense them.
Let’s go through each word one by one:
1.
balloon → You can see and touch it →
Concrete
2.
necklace → You can wear it, see it, touch it →
Concrete
3.
happiness → A feeling — you can’t hold it →
Abstract
4.
pain → A feeling or sensation — not a physical object →
Abstract
5.
childhood → A time period in life — not something you can touch →
Abstract
6.
honor → A concept or value — not physical →
Abstract
7.
backpack → You can carry it, see it, touch it →
Concrete
8.
moment → A point in time — not physical →
Abstract
9.
airport → A place with buildings, planes, people — you can go there →
Concrete
10.
safety → A state or condition — not something you can touch →
Abstract
11.
planet → Like Earth or Mars — you can’t touch most, but they are physical objects in space →
Concrete (Note: Even though we can’t touch distant planets, they are still physical entities — so classified as concrete)
12.
clothing → Things you wear — shirts, pants, etc. → You can touch and see them →
Concrete
Now let’s group them:
✔ Abstract Nouns:
- happiness
- pain
- childhood
- honor
- moment
- safety
✔ Concrete Nouns:
- balloon
- necklace
- backpack
- airport
- planet
- clothing
Final Answer:
Abstract Nouns: happiness, pain, childhood, honor, moment, safety
Concrete Nouns: balloon, necklace, backpack, airport, planet, clothing
