Question

which of these is a collective noun (1 point) A. cattle B.caravan C.them D.boxcars I think D am i right?

Answer 1

Collective nouns describe a group of individuals. And can be replaced with singular and plural pronouns. Because it deals with individuals, aka people, I'd say it isn't A nor D.

Answer 2

Would you say C then? @saucvi

Answer 3

I see the easy confusion, but no. I'd say it is B. Because they can be replaced with pronouns (like them in many cases) I would say it is not going to already originally a pronoun. B is historically known as a group or people who travel together.
