What correctly describes the collective noun in The board were arriving late trickling in by twos or threes?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
The collective noun is acting individually (one board) and takes a singular verb:
"The board was arriving late, trickling in by twos and threes."
The fact that the rest of the sentence is referring to the members (plural) does not change the fact that the subject (board) is singular.

What is a restrictive phrase?
A participial phrase that limits (i.e. restricts) the application of the verb to the subject. For example, 'My relatives who are arriving tomorrow enjoy fish and chips.' This means that those of my relatives who happen to be arriving tomorrow enjoy fish and chips. But it provides no information about those of my relatives who do not happen to be arriving tomorrow. The participial clause 'who are arriving tomorrow' restricts the verb 'enjoy' to a subset of my relatives. On the other hand, if I use commas to separate the participial clause from the rest of the sentence, it stops being restrictive and becomes descriptive: 'My relatives, who are arriving tomorrow, enjoy fish and chips.' This means 'My relatives enjoy fish and chips, and by the way they are arriving tomorrow.' The participial clause 'who are arriving tomorrow' describes my relatives. Commas used for this purpose are always in pairs. They are equivalent to opening and closing parentheses.
