Concrete details are specific and tangible pieces of information that help to illustrate or support an idea, concept, or argument. They provide clarity and depth to writing by allowing readers to visualize or better understand the subject being discussed. Examples of concrete details include:
- Specific facts, figures, and statistics
- Descriptive imagery that appeals to the senses
- Direct quotes or examples from reliable sources
- Specific events or anecdotes that illustrate a point
In contrast, abstract details are vague or general statements that lack specificity. For instance, saying "many people enjoy sports" is an abstract statement, whereas saying "80% of teenagers participate in at least one sport" is a concrete detail.
If you have more specific options or descriptions to choose from, please share them, and I can help you identify which best describes concrete details.
