Thank you Ms. Sue

You're welcome, Sandia.

You are correct! Option B, "Respect must be earned," contains an abstract noun. An abstract noun is a word that represents an idea, quality, or state that cannot be perceived through the senses. In this sentence, "respect" is an abstract noun because it refers to a concept or a quality that cannot be seen or touched. Well done! If you ever encounter a similar question, remember to look for words that represent concepts or qualities rather than concrete objects.
