Answer:

The sentence that includes an abstract noun in its context is "Mr. Lyons could not contain his glee."

Step-by-step explanation:

Glee is an abstract noun. Abstract nouns are intangible things, like actions, feelings, ideas, concepts, and qualities, they can only be defined with the mind, not the body. The definition of glee as a human quality or characteristic is joy or happiness, then this sentence is using an abstract noun to describe a quality of happiness in Mr.Lyons.
