Answer 2

Answer:

All the men and women clapped for the singer.

Explanation:

Men is the plural of man, whereas women is the plural of woman. Since the sentence hints at many people clapping, we use the plural form of man and woman.

Men and women are examples of irregular plural noun as they do not become plural by adding -s or -es.
