✔ Solutions with Explanations

1. The soldiers fought with bravery.
→ bravery (a quality or feeling – cannot be touched)
✔ Underline: bravery

2. Honesty is always better than telling a lie.
→ honesty (a moral quality)
✔ Underline: honesty

3. Children are the hope of our great future.
→ hope (an emotion/idea)
✔ Underline: hope

4. It was generous to send cookies to the neighbor.
→ generous is an adjective, but the noun form would be *generosity*. However, here it's not used as a noun.
✘ No abstract noun in this sentence? Wait — let’s check:
"It was generous..." → “generous” is an adjective. But the abstract idea is implied, but not a noun.
→ Actually, "generosity" is the abstract noun, but it's not present.
So, no abstract noun is used as a noun here.
