allery'A: The committee ____ divided in its opinion.' Choose the correct verb:
Awas
Bwere
Chave been
Dare
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. was
When a collective noun acts as a single unit the singular 'was' is used.
(When members act individually, 'were' can be used — but 'divided in its opinion' treats it as one body, taking 'its' + 'was'.)
