You're welcome, Sandia.
You are correct! The sentence "Logic is easily understood" contains an abstract noun. Abstract nouns are things that cannot be physically perceived through the senses, such as emotions, concepts, or qualities. In this case, "logic" is an abstract noun because it refers to a concept or a way of thinking, which cannot be seen or touched.
To find the correct answer, you need to examine each sentence and identify the words that represent abstract ideas rather than concrete objects. In sentences A, B, and C, the nouns "dishtowel," "skill," and "vase" are all concrete objects that can be seen or touched. However, in sentence D, "logic" is an abstract concept, making it the correct choice.
