Checking a site, It seems to me to be Item (d.)Based on this statement: Concrete words are nouns; they describe things you experience through your senses: smoke, mist, a shout. Abstract words name qualities: beauty, justice, truth. Concrete words help us describe things; abstract words help us classify them.A word or phrase is concrete if:It is specific, particular, real and tangible It is characterized by or belonging to immediate experience of actual things or events It provides specific meaning. A word or phrase is abstract if:It is insufficiently factual It has only intrinsic form There is little or no attempt at written pictorial representation or narrative content It is unclear, indefinite, imprecise, indistinct, slight, hazy, vacant or obscure The words or phrases do not provide specific meaningCalling the kid a terror seems more specific to me than the rest.
