Question

"Highly abstract language" refers to words or phrases that are general or conceptual, rather than specific or concrete. Option B, "John is a loyal person," is the most abstract because it is a quality or characteristic that cannot be observed directly, but rather inferred based on behavior and actions. Option A is concrete because it refers to a specific activity (playing tennis). Option C is somewhat concrete because it provides specific instructions for a task. Option D is also concrete because it describes a specific event (the car not starting).
