To put abstract ideas into sensory words, use descriptions. a. vague b. impersonal c. concrete d. general

The answer is C: concrete.

One of the main lessons that classical empiricism, most notably Berkeley´s contributions, have left us is that ideas are nothing other than impressions, be that sense impressions or reflective sense impressions. For Berkeley, then, all ideas can be boiled down to concrete matters of fact, or what empiricists call experience, that is, information gathered by the senses. In this way, the only way to express abstract ideas is through concrete descriptions and definitions.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
