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.

Ability and merits are both common nouns.
