Nouns
I have a couple of questions on identifying nouns in a sentence.
The first sentence:
Because of their intelligence and athletic ability, Karen Cornell and Leonard Johnson were named "Scholar Athletes."
The Second Sentence:
Congress debated the merits of the tax bill late into the night.
My questions are: is athletic ability a noun? if so, which type. is merits a noun? if so, which type.
Thanks.
