Answer: Boy: Common Burnt: Abstract Firecrackers: Common
Explanation: For the explanation... You will need to understand what Common, Proper and Abstract nouns are! Common Noun refers to the words in general like a place, thing , animal or people... So, here I have said that firecracker and boy are common nouns because they general words used for anyone/anything we can call a person named Aarav a boy! And a Proper Noun refers to the words which are specifically used for that particular person, place , animal or thing! For example, Nainital, Dubai, Sweety, etc. are Proper Nouns. Unfortunately, I can't see any Proper Nouns in this sentence! Abstract Nouns are those words which refer to a feeling, emotion/idea which can be experienced or felt but not touched!
I hope you understood my answer and I wish this will help you solve the other problems! Good Luck!
