Question 5 options
  • played
  • with a ball
  • in the park

Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence uses a concrete noun rather than an abstract noun?

Question 8 options
'He could smell the flowers in the garden' is correct because 'flowers' is a concrete noun — something you can smell and see. The other sentences all use abstract nouns (freedom, loyalty, imagination) which cannot be perceived through the senses.

Question 9 options
  • The music
  • filled
  • the room

Question 11: Which statement about concrete nouns is true?

Question 11 options
Concrete nouns can be either countable or uncountable is correct.

Concrete nouns are not always countable, not always singular, and not limited to living things.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite using a concrete noun: 'She experienced great joy.' → She felt ___ on her face.

Question 12 options
