Detailed Solution

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or the quality of a noun, whereas a noun is the name of a person, place, animal, or thing.
We have four words to choose from in the sentence above. Let's look at each of them and try to figure out which pair of nouns they are. Option 1 contains two words: man and pity. Man is a masculine form of the noun that refers to a male human being. Pity is an abstract noun because it refers to a feeling of sorrow for someone else's suffering.
Beggar is often used to describe a poor person who begs for money or food. As a result, option 2 is incorrect once more because one is an abstract noun and the other is a noun. Option 3 includes both nouns. As can be seen from the examples above, man and beggar are both nouns. As a result, option 3 is the correct answer. Option 4 consists of two words: pity and poor. Pity is an abstract noun, whereas poor is an adjective that describes a characteristic of someone or something. For example, "poor man, poor result."
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
