Select the concrete and abstract noun from the following.

His confessions proved to be false.

• A. false - Abstract Noun
• B. confessions - Abstract Noun
• C. confessions, false - Abstract Noun
• D. his, confessions - Concrete noun

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A concrete noun denotes a material object without any abstract values. An abstract noun denotes an idea, quality or state. In the given sentence, there is no concrete noun. Both the nouns in this sentence, i.e. 'Confessions' and 'false' are abstract nouns. Hence, Option C is correct and the other options are not.
