Question

Say whether the underlined nouns are Common, Proper, Collective or Abstract:

The soldiers were rewarded for their bravery.

• A. soldiers - Abstract; bravery - Common
• B. soldiers - Proper; bravery - Abstract
• C. soldiers - Common; bravery - Abstract
• D. soldiers - Collective; bravery - Common

Answer 1

The correct option is C soldiers - Common; bravery - Abstract

The name given to every person or thing of the same class orkind is a common noun. The name given to a quality, action or state considered apart from the object to which it belongs, is an abstract noun.

Soldiers is a general term that refers to army men and bravery is an abstract noun as it is a quality which is not tangible.
