Answer 1

Answer:

1.Police is a collective noun. In American English collective nouns are treated as singular nouns. But in British English collective nouns may be treated as singular or plural. If the reference is to individual members of the group the Britishers treat the noun as plural. Example, the staff are unhappy - meaning the members of the staff are unhappy.

Here we would not be referring to individual policemen and hence the noun should be treated as singular.

2.In this sentence 'may' or 'can' can be used because both are used to give permission.

The main use of 'should' is to tell somebody what they ought to do, to give advice, or to add emphasis to something and 'will' is used to make requests, give instructions or advice or to make an offer. Neither of these usages would fit in the sentence and hence both are incorrect answers.

Hence, “the police has caught the thief” is correct.
