Answer
I am the word "string".I can be paired with the three words "bean", "bikini", and "theory" to form the following phrasal nouns:
string bean - a type of legume
string bikini - "Alternatives", such as a one-piece bathing suit, cover more of the body, and therefore "are better obscuring".
string theory - Science will determine whether this theory is "real or illusion".
All of the phrasal nouns consist of two words, each having a common first word, "string", and a different second word.
