Answer 1

Hint: A collective noun is a noun that refers to a group of people. Example: family, a team, a group, etc. They are a group of people or things but they are treated as a singular entity.
A sailor is someone who works on a ship or sails a boat.

Complete answer:
A collective noun is a term that refers to a group of items as a whole. The majority of collective nouns in everyday speech are not limited to a single type of item, such as the word "gang," which may refer to individuals ("a group of people") or other objects. Some collective nouns, such as terms of venery, which describe groups of specific animals, are specific to one type of item.
Examples of collective nouns for people: family, class, group, etc.
collective nouns for animals: flock, swarm, etc.

A crew is a term used to describe a group of sailors who work together on a ship. A sailor is someone who works on a ship, even those who work in particular support roles like the bosun, who searches for and manages equipment.

So, the collective noun is ‘A crew of sailors’.

Note: Members of collective nouns will act in the same way. The collective noun is plural when the members are behaving as individuals, and plural verbs and pronouns are needed. People always act in the same way, doing the same thing as the rest of their party. When these individuals are included in a collective noun, the noun becomes singular, requiring singular verbs and pronouns.
