Explanation of Solution

Answer and explanation

“Concepts” are mental categories used to classify objects, relations, or situations with general properties. They consist of abstract abilities that compose the essential construction underlying our thoughts and belief structures and play a key role in all features representative of cognition.

These mental representations compose our propositional attitudes (or stances), which in turn compose our comprehension of those thoughts that occupy our daily lives.
