The proper nouns in "Phoenix has seen a rise in the number of senior citizens relaying on Medicare" are the following ones: Phoenix and Medicare (A). This is the case because proper nouns have two particular features: They refer to one-of-a kind items and they begin with a capital letter. Phoenix refers to a location and Medicare to a health care insurance.
