    Explanation
    The correct answer is "abstract, abstract noun" because the sentence describes Jane collecting rain in a tarp, which is a physical action (concrete), but also mentions that thirst is a problem, which is a concept or idea (abstract).

    This love sprang from sacrifice and it has helped Jane and David survive.

    Explanation
    The given sentence states that "This love sprang from sacrifice and it has helped Jane and David survive." In this sentence, the word "abstract" is used to describe the type of love being discussed. The word "abstract" refers to something that is not tangible or physical, but rather conceptual or theoretical. In this context, it suggests that the love between Jane and David is not based on material possessions or physical attraction, but rather on selflessness and sacrifice. This type of love has been instrumental in helping them overcome challenges and continue their relationship. Therefore, "abstract" is used to describe the nature of the love being discussed in the sentence.

    Jane and David have been on a raft for weeks. 

    Explanation
    “Jane” and “David” are Proper Nouns. A proper noun is a specific name for a particular person, place, or thing. They are always capitalized in English. In this case, “Jane” and “David” are the names of specific people, so they are proper nouns. The other types of nouns - common, collective, concrete/material, and abstract - do not apply to “Jane” and “David”.

    Explanation

Abstract nouns refer to ideas, qualities, or states that cannot be perceived by the senses. In this scenario, David's intelligence is an abstract concept as it cannot be physically seen or touched. Similarly, Jane's happiness is also an abstract emotion that cannot be directly observed. Therefore, both "intelligence" and "happiness" are examples of abstract nouns.

  • 15. 

    David makes a net from an old bag and thread.

    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that the word "material" is a noun and the word "concrete" is also a noun. This implies that both "material" and "concrete" are being used as nouns in the sentence. The sentence states that David makes a net from an old bag and thread, indicating that the bag and thread are the materials used by David to create the net. The word "concrete" could be used to emphasize that the materials used are specific and tangible, rather than being abstract or hypothetical.
