Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the words are nouns because a noun is- "A noun is a word that functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas. However, noun is not a semantic category, so that it cannot be characterized in terms of its meaning."
