Answer:
I actually think that the correct answer to the statement: Concrete terms can never be used in an abstract or symbolic way, would be: False.
Explanation:
The explanation for this is that, although concrete terms, such as heart, table, eyes, etc., make reference to objects, or things, that can be experienced with the human senses, this does not mean that they cannot be used to refer to more symbolic, or abstract terms, such as love, emotions, etc,. In fact, in literature, for example, it is very common to find writers using concrete terms to which they apply a more symbolic meaning, like for example: My heart fluttered into the sky and never came back. Although the term heart is concrete, used in a literary fashion, like in this example, gives the concrete term a more symbolic, and abstract meaning, elevating it from the simple organ, to the ideal of a person who is your heart, and is gone from you. In this way, concrete terms can be turned into symbolism and thus, the affirmation above would be false.
