Question

Which two words in the passage are concrete words?

a) Adams, family
b) Backyard, exercise
c) Identification, posters
d) Finally, hoping
The Adams family loves its dog, Spike. Every afternoon the family lets Spike out into the backyard
to get exercise. They makesure Spike wears identification tags because he once got out of the
yard. It took a week for the family to find Spike. The family put up a number of posters around
town, hoping someone had seen him. Finally, a man who lived across town called to say that he
had found Spike. The family feels better knowing that Spike wears his tags, so if he gets out again,
he'll have a better chance of getting back home.
