    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. You can experience concrete nouns with your senses, but not abstract nouns.
    Explanation
    Concrete nouns are tangible and can be perceived through the five senses, such as objects, people, or animals. They are specific and can be physically seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. On the other hand, abstract nouns refer to concepts, ideas, qualities, or emotions that cannot be experienced through the senses. They are intangible and cannot be physically observed or felt. Therefore, the correct answer states that concrete nouns can be experienced with the senses, while abstract nouns cannot.

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a and b
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Both a and b" because both "Joy" and "Anger" are abstract nouns. Abstract nouns are words that represent ideas, emotions, qualities, or states that cannot be perceived by the senses. "Joy" and "Anger" are both emotions, which are abstract concepts that cannot be physically seen or touched. Therefore, they are both examples of abstract nouns.

In this case, Elmo is a character from the children's television show Sesame Street, and he can be seen and touched. Therefore, Elmo is classified as a concrete noun.
