Single action?

Hi, I just need confirmation on this:

I rejected the previous requests. (The previous requests were rejected)

Is 'rejected' in this context a single action in the past?

Thank you!

There is no way to know. You have to rephrase if you want to say that each request was rejected separately or to say that all requests were rejected as a group.
