Solution
The correct option is A the crew
The word, 'crew' means 'a group of people who work on and operate a ship, aircraft, etc'. Hence the phrase, 'the crew' given in option B is the correct collective noun which can substitute the underlined phrase. The word, 'gang' is a collective noun which refers to a group of slaves, labourers and thieves. The word, 'squad' is a collective noun which refers to a group of soldiers, players and aeroplanes. The word, 'corps' is a collective noun which refers to a group of soldiers in the army, working under a common direction. It also refers to a group of giraffes. Given the above meanings, the words in options A, C and D cannot replace the underlined phrase. Hence, these options are incorrect.
