Question 1 Report
In each of the following questions, choose the option that best completes the gap(s).
That Fulani man has a large _____ of sheep.
Answer Details
This question tests knowledge of collective nouns - special words used to describe groups of specific animals, people, or things.
The collective noun for sheep is flock. A flock is the standard term for a group of sheep (as well as birds and goats).
The other options are incorrect for these reasons:
- multitude means a very large number of people or things. It is not the specific collective noun for sheep and sounds unnatural in this context.
- herd is the collective noun for cattle, elephants, horses, and similar large animals, not sheep.
- swine is not a collective noun at all; it is another word for pigs.
Common collective nouns tested in examinations include: a flock of sheep or birds, a herd of cattle, a pack of wolves, a swarm of bees, a school of fish, and a pride of lions.
