Answer 2

The jury were divided in their opinions.

Explanation:

let's have a look at two examples of subject-verb agreement:

• A singular noun is a collective noun that is treated as a single entity. The plan has been approved by the committee, for example.
• A committee is a single unit in this case. A plural noun is a collective noun that is treated as if it were a single person.
• For example, the army has continued to fight valiantly.
• Each soldier in the army is treated as an individual.
