The common nouns detected here are ‘star’ and ‘wish’.

Step-by-step explanation:

A noun is the naming word that tells the name of any place, person, thing or feeling. Among the various categories of nouns, a common noun is the one that denotes the name in general of any class of place, person or thing or a collective whole. It is not marked with a capital letter.

In the sentence ‘A star shone brightly as Ramonda made a wish’, there are three nouns- star, Ramonda and wish. Here, Ramonda implies a particular person since it begins with a capital letter, so we know it is a proper noun. ‘Star’ is the generic name of a class of luminary celestial objects and ‘wish’ is the generic name of a desire or feeling. Hence these two are common nouns.
