Final answer:
Abstract nouns are intangible qualities or states related to concrete nouns. The correct abstract forms for the given nouns include Feverishness, Legislation, Pricing, etc. Option C from the choices provided is the most accurate set of abstract nouns related to the original list.
Step-by-step explanation:
Turning concrete nouns into their abstract counterparts involves finding a word that captures the essence of the original noun, but in an intangible way. The abstract nouns corresponding to the concrete nouns provided should express qualities, states, or concepts that cannot be physically touched or measured.
Let's examine the options given in the question:
- Fever becomes Feverishness (a state of having a fever).
- Law becomes Legislation (the act or process of making or enacting laws).
- Price can be turned into Pricing (the evaluation of something in terms of its price).
- Pizza does not have a direct abstract form but could be related to Deliciousness when considering its taste quality.
- Year can be described as Yearning when considering the abstract sense of longing or desire over time.
- Earthquake becomes Earthshaking, which signifies the impact or consequences of an earthquake rather than the event itself.
- Thermometer is related to Temperature, an abstract concept representing the degree of heat.
- Judge is related to the Judiciary or Judgment, reflecting the abstract concept of legal decision-making.
- The concept related to Hunger is Starvation, which signifies the state of being hungry.
- Calendar deals with Time measurement, which is an abstract idea of how we organize and perceive time.
- Lastly, Disaster can be abstracted to Catastrophe or Disastrousness, explaining the level or nature of the disaster in abstract terms.
The correct option that includes most of the corresponding abstract nouns is C. Feverishness, Legislation, Pricing, Pizzazz (not directly related to pizza, but captures an idea of something being lively or attractive which could be an abstract quality of enjoying something like pizza), Yearning, Earthquake, Temperature, Judgement, Priciness, Hungry (as an adjective rather than the noun hunger, though it is related), Day (not directly related to calendar, but a component of it), and Disastrousness.
