Collective Nouns

An 'army' of soldiers is the correct collective noun phrase. While 'group of people' is literally true, it's not the specific collective noun. 'United body' is too vague, and 'host' typically refers to angels or a large gathering in general.

A 'band' of musicians is the correct collective noun. A band is specifically a group of musicians performing together. 'Selection' and 'hair band' are incorrect meanings, while 'line of different color' describes something visual.

A 'board' of directors is the standard collective noun. While a board can mean a flat piece of wood in other contexts, when referring to directors it means the governing body. The other options are literal meanings of 'board' as an object.

A 'bevy' of beauties is the correct collective noun phrase. A bevy refers to a large group of people or things, often used for beautiful women or birds. 'Flight' and 'fleet' are collective nouns for birds and ships respectively, while 'sweetheart' is singular.

A 'bench' of judges is the correct collective noun. The bench refers to the office or position of a judge, or the collective body of judges. The other options describe literal physical benches (seat, table, stalls).

A 'basket' of fruits is the correct collective noun. A basket is the common container for holding fruits. 'Bag' and 'container' are too generic, while 'an open work on the hilt of sword' refers to a basket-hilt of a sword.

A 'bunch' of keys is the correct collective noun. A bunch refers to things fastened or growing together, like keys. 'Hunch' and 'hump' are unrelated words, while 'group' is too generic.

A 'bundle' of sticks is the correct collective noun. A bundle refers to items bound together. 'Package' and 'collection' are too generic, while 'cluster' typically refers to things growing together naturally like grapes.

A 'chain' of mountains is the correct collective noun. A chain refers to a connected series, specifically used for mountains forming a mountain range. 'Line' and 'group' are too generic, while 'any connected series' is the definition but not the specific term.

A 'bouquet' of roses is the correct collective noun. A bouquet specifically refers to an arrangement of flowers, especially roses. 'Group' is too generic, 'host' refers to angels or large gatherings, and 'body' typically refers to a group of people with a common purpose.

A cluster refers to a group of similar things growing or occurring together. Stars often appear in clusters in the night sky, making 'cluster' the correct collective noun. 'Bunch' and 'group' are too generic, while 'an assembly' is grammatically incorrect (should be 'an assembly of').

A clump refers to a compact or irregular group of things growing together. Trees often grow in clumps, making this the correct collective noun. 'Cluster' typically refers to more tightly grouped items like stars or grapes. The other options are not collective nouns.

A crew is the specific collective noun for sailors working together on a ship or aircraft. The other options are either phrases rather than single collective nouns, or too generic ('crowd') for this specific nautical context.

A congress refers to a formal assembly or meeting of delegates, particularly for discussion and decision-making. This is the correct collective noun in this context. 'Assembly' could also be correct but is not the credited answer.

A chest is the collective noun used in the phrase 'chest of drawers,' referring to furniture containing multiple drawers. This is a compound collective noun specific to furniture. The other options describe components or purposes rather than the collective term.
