The committee Is or The committee Are? Here's the Real Rule! #subjectverbagreement #cbse #fitthelitAdded:
90% of the students would get this answer wrong because all of them have been trained to treat collective nouns as a singular quantity, but this is not the case.

And therefore, the answer to this question would be the committee are divided in its opinion. Start your playlist Grammar Bites today.
