Option: C

Explanation:

A collection of supposed items as a whole is understood as a collective noun. Some collective nouns are not limited to one kind of thing in everyday conversation, such as the word community which can be imposed on people, dogs or other items. Typically, collective nouns follow a singular verb since they are singular in structure but often they take a plural verb. Using a plural verb while community members behave as individuals. The jury were permitted to go home to their families every day, for an instance.

Collective nouns are said to be plural (A) when there is more than one of the same kind of group

Explanation:

A collective noun can be singular or plural depending on the context  of the sentence. In the first example below, the goat is considered as one unit. Therefore, goat is considered singular. However, in the second example, the goats  is considered as lots of individuals, and goat is considered plural.

Examples:

The goat was moving north.  

(singular – considered as one unit)

The goats were darting in all directions.  

(plural – considered as individuals)

Let take an example to understand this concept- Nouns such as 'sheep' or 'fish', when used collectively, are said to be  morphologically singular but they are semantically plural.  'Fish' accepts the morphologically plural form 'fishes' when referring to species of fish.similarly 'sheep' accepts the morphologically plural form 'fishes'

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
