Explanation:

A collective noun describes a group that operates independently.

Because the members of the group are active or behaving in synchrony, collective nouns operate grammatically as a single entity.

• A band is a musical ensemble made up of musicians who play together.
• A herd is a large collection of animals, particularly hoofed mammals, that live or are maintained together as livestock.
• Bundle - a grouping of items or an amount of material that is knotted or wrapped together.
• In a competitive game or sport, a team is a group of players who form one side.
• Flock - A flock is a group of animals that have gathered together, such as birds or sheep.
