Answer 2

Answer:

'The hunter shot at the flock of birds.'

Explanation:

Flock is defined to be a 'collective noun'.

A 'collective noun' is a form of noun which is used to determine a collection of any object as a whole. They are the names for collection of 'people, places, animals or things'.

Words like group, array and herd are examples of collective nouns. They make the sentence easier by naming the entire phrase at once, therefore, are most commonly used.

For example, 'an army of ants'

                     'A flock of birds'

                      'A litter of puppies

Therefore used in general for the collection of objects.
