Answer 1

Hint: Abstract nouns are nouns that signify something that is abstract in nature, that is an idea, feeling, or quality. For example, happiness, sadness, etc. are abstract nouns.

Complete answer:
In the following given sentences, we have to modify the words given in the brackets and make them into an abstract noun.
The principal received an application from the guardian. (Apply)
Proper guidance is a must for every student. (Guide)
Attendance in the class is rather thin today. (Attend)
Handel earned fame and recognition for his bravery. (Famous, recognise)
For his friendliness, the judge gave a wrong decision. (Friend, decide)
An announcement was made that there was no vacancy in the office. (Announce, vacant)
Amidst poverty, the boy grew up to be a man of wisdom. (Poor, wise)
The drama was a tragedy, for it ended in cruelty and death. (Tragic, cruel)

Note:
Abstract nouns are intangible, that is, we cannot touch them or feel them. If you are confused about a certain noun, convert that world into something which is intangible. For example, friendliness is intangible while the word friend is not the intention.
