Identify the wrong collective noun?

  1. A
    Army
  2. B
    Sheeps
  3. C
    Scissors
  4. D
    Daughters-in-law

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The plural forms of certain animal names are identical to their singular form. The word 'sheep' serves as both singular and plural; 'sheeps' is incorrect. Note: While 'scissors' is plural-only and 'daughters-in-law' is a compound plural noun, the question specifically targets 'Sheeps' as the faulty lexical/noun formulation in standard usage keys.
