Annette [7]

Answer:

  1. <u>the axen (do you mean oxen?)</u>
  2. <u>The church choir</u>
  3. <u>the mob</u>
  4. <u>fleet of luxury cars (or just cars)</u>
  5. <u>clump of trees (or trees) </u>
  6. <u>a troupe of dancers (or just dancers.)</u>

Explanation:

As you probably know, a noun is a person, place, or thing (or idea), and the question is asking for you to underline the <u>collective</u> nouns, a word which here means acting as a group or a group of something, so we would underline the nouns which have a group in them.

Let me know if this helps!
