Answer 2

The correct noun in the given question blank is FLOCK/ HERD.

• The noun used in the given sentence is called a collective noun and is used to refer to a group of something.
• When referring to a group of sheep or number of sheep one can use the noun flock or herd.
• Collective nouns are used mainly for referring to common nouns and not proper nouns.
• This is because proper nouns are more specific, unlike common nouns.
• While using a collective noun in the sentence the common noun being referred to is not written in plural form.
• Such collective nouns can be used for groups of people, groups of animals, insects, groups of things, etc.
• Hence, the correct sentence is: I saw a flock of sheep in a farm.
