Question 23: Which of the following is a collective noun in the text?

The correct answer is 'Initiative'.
Key Points
- Collective nouns are used to describe a group or collection of similar entities seen as one whole.
- 'Initiative' in the context of the sentence “twin sisters Meera and Mala were recognized for their initiative and quick thinking,” can be understood as a collective effort or action taken by the twins.
- Thus 'initiative' will be viewed as a collective noun in this context.
- 'Woman' (Option 1) is a noun representing a single female human being which can be multiplied and counted, thus it is not a collective noun.
- 'Town' (Option 2) and 'Building' (Option 3) are concrete nouns that represent particular places. They do not describe a group or collection of similar entities and so, they are not collective nouns.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4, 'Initiative'.
