Hey there!

A collective noun is a noun that is in singular form and pronounced as a singular word, but represents a group or more than one person.

Paris is a pronoun because it is a city in France and it must be capitalized, so we can take this out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Family is a collective noun because it is in singular form, but means more than one person. A family is a group of people, this is the correct choice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girl
is a common noun. This is because it has no specific name, so we can take this out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tired is not a noun. It can either be an adjective or verb because you can either look tired, or have something be tired. We can also take this option out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The correct answer to this question is option B.
"Family" is the collective noun.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day! :)

Hello there :)

A collective noun classifies a group of individuals.

So, the collective noun would be B. Family.

Hope this helps and have a great day!
