But the book is saying the former is correct oh

chufor:

which book??

But the book is saying the former is correct oh

Well, it depends on the context of the sentence, with my little knowledge of grammar, 'congregation' could be a collective now and it takes the singular form or it could represent a group of people.
In my opinion, 'congregation' as used in the statement suggests that it is singular but if you think it is plural, you use 'are'.
I may be wrong, but I hope I have been able to backup my answer, suggestions are welcome.

Aybalance:

[quote author=chufor post=61376537]

actually I knew the answer was "are" but I think I'd like to correct something here for the sake of everyone... in case any question pops up let's try to make thorough findings before we start posting randomly.. so that Alot of people don't get confused during the exam if the question eventually comes out... there's no point trying to debate any question at this juncture.. because we're at the tale end.. so every correctly solved random questions are important... thank you

the former....



congregation there is a collective noun(Notional Concord)

normally, collective noun goes with singular verb but in this case it performs action and for that, it attracts plural noun...

let break it down...

the congregation (that's the members) are dancing not is...



let me come and be going..

Hello Guys.....

It depends on how the noun is been used...either singular or plural form.
Collective noun like choirs, would be followed by are
While choister would be followed by is


The congregation is/was(PT) dancing
The congregation s are/were(PT) dancing


The correct answer is IS because the collective noun was a singular
