3. Allen visited his cousin in St. Louis, Missouri.

Explanation

The given sentence "Allen visited his cousin in St. Louis, Missouri" contains a noun, which is "cousin". "Cousin" is a common noun as it refers to a general type of relationship and can be used to describe any person's relative.

The mention of "St. Louis, Missouri" in the sentence is irrelevant to the classification of "cousin" as a common noun.
