@rrobinson2,
I think I have this one too... This is one of those trick questions. Berkeley does not believe abstract ideas are possible... So the answer would be~

I cannot give an example because Berkeley did not believe having an abstract idea was possible as all ideas are formulated on gathered sense data.

Tell me if I'm wrong!!

@rrobinson2,
If you are right, I'd say Berkeley was wrong. Wink
