Final Answer:

He bought five dozen oranges.

Explanation:

  • Since dozen is a collective noun, it is singular and plural at the same time. The plural tense 'dozens' can be used when it is followed by the preposition 'of' and plural nouns. “Orange” should be also used in plural due to the collective noun "dozen".
  • After a number or a word or expression referring to a number, such as several or a few,' the plural form is dozen. You have twelve of something if you have a dozen of it.
  • “dozen” is a precise number word, like “two” or “hundred”; we say “two eggs,” “a hundred eggs,” and “a dozen eggs.”
  • The word dozen comes from the French word 'douzaine' which means a group of 12.
