  • ii) A group of people or animals are considered singular or plural?
  • Hello!
  • In this case the first example is correct, second - no.
  • It's because collective noun LinkinPark denotes a single entity.
  • Loosely speaking, when the group of members do anything in unison we use singular form of a verb, otherwise - plural form.
