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.
