Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable collective noun:
A __________ of parrots flew high in the sky.

• A. Bunch
• B. Flock
• C. Herd
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Flock

The collective noun used for a group of parrots is either 'flock' or 'company' or 'pandemonium'. Here, Option B indicates 'flock'. Hence this is correct.

Options A and C are incorrect as 'bunch' and 'herd' are not used to represent a group of parrots.

'Bunch' is a collective noun which is used for a group of 'bananas', 'grapes'.

'Herd' is a collective noun usually used for a group of certain kinds of animals e.g: 'herd of antelopes', 'herd of buffaloes' etc.

Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer.
