Explanation:
-
Concrete nouns refer to tangible, physical things that can be perceived through the senses (e.g., book, planet, rock, library, glasses, bell).
-
Abstract nouns refer to intangible concepts, ideas, or qualities (e.g., history, science, freedom, intelligence).
By applying these definitions to each sentence, we can accurately classify the bolded nouns as either abstract or concrete.
