Question

Identify the collective noun in the following sentence.

The group of students fought in the street.

• A. group
• B. students
• C. fought
• D. street

Answer 1

The correct option is A group

A collective noun is a word used to represent a group of people, animals, or things.

Option A is the correct answer as 'group' refers to a number of people or things that are located, gathered, or classed together.

Option B is incorrect because 'students' is simply the plural form of the noun 'student' and not a collective noun.

Options C and D are incorrect because 'fought' is a verb and ' street' is a noun; neither is a collective noun.
