Great job, you correctly identified "friends" as a collective noun and "Fourth of July" as a compound noun.
A collective noun refers to a group of people or things. In this case, "friends" is a collective noun because it refers to a group of people who went to the movie with Lori.
A compound noun is formed by combining two or more words to create a new noun with a different meaning. "Fourth of July" is a compound noun because it combines the words "Fourth" and "July" to refer to a specific holiday celebrated on the fourth day of July.
You did not miss any other examples of collective or compound nouns in the given sentence. If there were any other collective or compound nouns, I would have pointed them out. Well done!
