Let's solve this step by step.

Step 1: Understand the difference between concrete and abstract nouns
-
Concrete nouns are things you can perceive with your senses (see, touch, hear, taste, smell).
Examples: mountain, sister, sunlight
-
Abstract nouns are ideas, feelings, qualities, or concepts that cannot be physically sensed.
Examples: faith, kindness, disappointment
---
Step 2: Classify each noun from the box
Given words:
-
faith → abstract (a belief or trust)
-
mountains → concrete (physical landforms)
-
disappointment → abstract (an emotion)
-
candidates → concrete (people who can be seen)
-
confidence → abstract (a feeling of self-assurance)
-
kindness → abstract (a quality or behavior)
-
sunlight → concrete (can be seen and felt)
-
sister → concrete (a person)
