    Which of the following is an abstract noun?
    Question

    Which of the following is an abstract noun?

    A.

    BOOK

    B.

    TEACHER 

    C.

    HONESTY 

    D.

    DELHI

    Correct option is C

    Solution- The Correct Answer: C.  Honesty
    Abstract nouns are names of ideas, qualities, feelings, or concepts that cannot be seen, touched, or physically measured.
    “Honesty” is a quality → an abstract noun.
    “Book” (thing), “Teacher” (person), and “Delhi” (place) are concrete nouns because they can be seen or touched.
    Information Booster-
    Definition: Abstract nouns represent qualities, states, or emotions (e.g., love, bravery, kindness, fear).
    Tip to Identify: If you can’t touch, see, or hear it physically but can feel or think about it, it’s abstract.
    Additional Information-
    Formation of Abstract Nouns:
    Adjective → Abstract Noun: Honest → Honesty, Kind → Kindness.
    Verb → Abstract Noun: Decide → Decision, Know → Knowledge.
    Categories of Abstract Nouns:
    Qualities (e.g., wisdom, honesty)
    Emotions (e.g., anger, joy)
    States (e.g., childhood, freedom)
    Pedagogical Note: While teaching, contrast Concrete vs. Abstract with examples:
    Concrete: apple, car, teacher.
    Abstract: beauty, justice, love.
