Final answer:

The task involves identifying whether each noun provided is concrete or abstract. Concrete nouns are perceptible through the senses, such as 'peanuts' and 'mountain', while abstract nouns like 'beauty' and 'loyalty' represent intangible concepts or ideas.

Step-by-step explanation:

When categorizing nouns into either concrete nouns or abstract nouns, it's important to determine whether the noun can be experienced with the five senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) or if it represents an idea or concept that cannot be directly perceived. Below is the list of nouns with their identification as 'C' for concrete or 'A' for abstract.

  1. beauty - A
  2. peanuts - C
  3. truth - A
  4. patriotism - A
  5. dragonfly - C
  6. totem pole - C
  7. heritage - A
  8. loyalty - A
  9. mountain - C
  10. enthusiasm - A
  11. Atlantic Ocean - C

As shown, concrete nouns refer to physical objects like peanuts, dragonfly, totem pole, mountain, and the Atlantic Ocean that can be perceived through senses. In contrast, abstract nouns like beauty, truth, patriotism, heritage, loyalty, and enthusiasm refer to ideas, feelings, or concepts that are intangible.
