Jordan joined an online dating website. He describes himself as “6’1” with brown hair and brown eyes.” What type of terms does Jordan use to describe himself?
  1. Concrete terms
  2. Abstract terms
  3. General terms
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - Concrete terms refer to objects or events that can be measured. Conversely, abstract terms are those that refer to ideas or concepts, with no physical or tangible measurement. General terms refer to a group of objects or ideas. Since Jordan is specific about his description, and his height, hair and eye color can be measured or observed, he is describing himself in concrete terms.
