Question

Which of the following sentences contains an abstract noun?

A. I hope that we are not late.
B. She thought we should have left earlier.
C. Respect must be earned.
D. They did a good job planning the party.

Answer 1

C. Respect must be earned.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Respect must be earned. "Respect" is the abstract noun that is in question here. This is because you couldn't explain what respect is using an object form nature, as it is similar to other abstract nouns such as love or hate.
