Well a collective noun is a noun that names a group. So here are the ones in this paragraph: family, team, audience, group, and maybe anyone. I do not know if anyone is a collective noun, but the answer is either 4 or 5.
Collective nouns are the categorization of a group of people or things. They are basically the grouping of persons, places or things. They are used in the overall assembling of things, taken as a collective noun.

The <em><u>audience</u></em><em>,</em> as well as the <em><u>group of reporters</u></em> who were watching, were in awe as she dominated both sides of the court.
