Abstract means the opposite of:

  1. Art

  2. Absurd

  3. Sculpture

  4. Concrete

The correct answer is: Concrete

The term "abstract" refers to concepts or ideas that are not grounded in physical reality or tangible form. It often denotes something that is theoretical, intangible, or exists only in thought. In contrast, "concrete" signifies something that is solid, tangible, and grounded in reality. This is why "concrete" is considered the opposite of "abstract." While "art," "absurd," and "sculpture" all relate to creative expressions or perceptions, they do not represent the direct opposite nature of the term in question. Therefore, the juxtaposition between the intangible nature of the abstract and the tangible nature of concrete makes "concrete" the correct choice.
