Explanation:
We are asked to circle the abstract noun(s) in each sentence. An abstract noun is a word that names an idea, feeling, or concept—not something you can touch, see, hear, smell, or taste. Examples include *love*, *hope*, *justice*, *friendship*, *memories*, *satisfaction*, and *greed*.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one:
1. “We need to think about the importance of friendship.”
- *Importance* is an abstract noun (a concept).
- *Friendship* is also abstract (a relationship/idea, not a physical thing).
✔ Abstract nouns:
importance,

2. “You can see the love this father has for his son.”
- *Love* is a feeling—abstract.
✔ Abstract noun:

3. “Bradley looked at the chocolate cake with greed in his eyes.”

✔ Abstract noun:

4. “After Thanksgiving dinner everyone patted their full stomachs with satisfaction.”

5. “Here eyes were full of hope as she opened her report card.”
- *Hope* is a feeling/expectation—abstract.
✔ Abstract noun:

6. “We would like to see justice served.”

7. “My childhood memories are a source of great joy for me.”
