Answer:
1. Ron had a friend whose son lives in France.
Noun: Friend
2. This is the book which you gave me.
Noun: Book
3. He is the man who is very popular.
Pronoun: Man
4. Bring me the dictionary that is lying on the table.
Noun: Dictionary
Explanation:
1. Ron is another noun in this sentence, but it shouldn't be circled since the clause whose son lives in France qualifies and give us more information about the friend
2. The word This can be used as a pronoun, determiner and adverb. But in this sentence, it is being used as a determiner (used to identify a specific person or thing close at hand or being indicated or experienced.) referring to the only noun in this sentence, that is, the book. Hence, the the clause which you gave me, qualifies and gives us more information about the book.
3. He is being used to determine the man, not the other way around. Hence the clause who is very popular refers to the man.
