Answer 1

Do you know what a common noun is?

Answer 2

No, those are PRONOUNS

Let's briefly define common noun as table, spoon, keyboard, etc., common noun is not a name of something, like "Georgia" or "Barry" would be PROPER nouns. "he" is a pronoun, so it's not a common noun either.

Which one is the answer?

Answer 3

\(\color{blue}{\underline{Barry }\\ }\) bought some \(\color{green}{\underline{peaches }\\ }\) while \(\color{red}{\underline{he }\\ }\) was in \(\color{blue}{\underline{Georgia }\\ }\).

\(\color{red}{Pronoun.~~~~~~~\underline{he }\\ }\)
\(\color{green}{Common~~~~noun.~~~~~~~~~\underline{peaches }\\ }\)
