The correct answer is A. use a singular verb.


If a noun is singular, but also collective, it means that it has the form of a singular noun, but refers to more than one entity. However, based on the context, it will either take a singular, or a plural verb.

For example: <em>The team is quite good</em> (where the team is a collective noun referring to all members together) VS. <em>The team are not behaving properly</em> (where this refers to all members individually).

Hamlet then speak his most famous soliloquy in line 64-98. what is he saying? how does he seem to be feeling
Alina [70]
What Hamlet is contemplating in his most famous soliloquy (To be or not to be) is the nature of life and what he should do with it. He is thinking about whether he should end it all (kill himself) or continue living and fighting for his revenge. His father was killed by his own brother and he wants to avenge the king's death but he is unsure how to do it.

He is torn between these two decisions, leading him to be stuck and ultimately do nothing for a while because he is indecisive. On one hand, he can go after Claudius who murderer his father, but on the other hand, he understands that that is meaningless and it won't bring him anything. However, in the end, he finally makes a decision - to go through with his plan.
