Explanation:

1. Part One: Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea. In each sentence, we identify all such words. For example, in "The city of Metropolis needs a real superhero to fight crime", "city", "Metropolis", "superhero", and "crime" are nouns.
2. Part Two:

• Singular/Plural: A singular noun names one item, while a plural noun names more than one. For example, "speed" is singular, "children" is plural.
• Common/Proper: A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing and is capitalized (e.g., "Metropolis", "John"). A common noun names a general - type of person, place, or thing (e.g., "city", "superhero").
• Concrete/Abstract: A concrete noun names something that can be perceived by the senses (e.g., "city", "football"). An abstract noun names an idea, quality, or state (e.g., "speed", "weakness").
