'Cattle' is an irregular plural noun that doesn't change form between singular and plural. Similar to 'sheep,' 'deer,' and 'fish,' it never takes an 's' - 'cattles' is always grammatically incorrect. We say 'ten cattle' not 'ten cattles.'

When 'thousand' follows a specific number, it remains singular. We say 'fifty thousand rupees' not 'fifty thousands rupees.' The 's' is only added when referring to an indefinite quantity like 'thousands of people.'

The correct option is scenery.

'Scissors' is grammatically plural because it refers to a two-part tool consisting of two blades. It always takes plural verb agreement: 'where are the scissors?' not 'where is the scissors?' Similar words include 'pants,' 'glasses,' and 'tweezers.'

'Premises' is always used in the plural form when referring to a building or land with its outbuildings. We say 'on the premises' or 'in the premises of.' 'Premise' (singular) has a different meaning - a proposition in logic or a clause in a contract.

The phrase 'three score and ten' is a fixed idiomatic expression from the Bible meaning 70 years (score = 20, so 3×20+10 = 70). This expression is never written as 'scores' - it's a set phrase that preserves the archaic singular form 'score'.

Cattle is a collective noun that always takes a plural verb. Even though 'cattle' refers to a group, it's grammatically plural, so we use 'are' not 'is'. The negative 'No' doesn't change this rule.

Despite ending in 's', measles is a singular noun. It's a disease name that looks plural but takes a singular verb, similar to news, mathematics, or physics. 'Measles is a bad disease' is correct.

The word 'sheep' has the same form for both singular and plural. In this context, 'sheep' refers to multiple sheep following a leader, so the plural verb 'follow' is correct. If it were one sheep, it would be 'follows'.

News is an uncountable noun that is always singular, even though it ends in 's'. It requires a singular verb like 'has', not 'have'. This is similar to words like athletics, economics, or politics.

Crowd is a collective noun. When the crowd acts as a single unit (assembled together), it takes a singular verb 'has'. This is correct usage for a collective noun performing a unified action.

The jury is a collective noun that can be either singular or plural. When emphasizing individual members' inability to agree (rather than the jury as a single unit), we use the plural verb 'have'. This highlights that the jurors, as individuals, haven't reached agreement.

Clergy is a collective noun that is typically treated as plural when referring to the members' individual opinions or actions. Since the opposition comes from individual clergy members, 'are' is the correct plural verb.

Deer is an invariant noun - it has the same form for both singular and plural. One deer, two deer, a herd of deer. 'Deers' is incorrect English. The answer is correctly identified as A.
