Choose the correct collective noun from the options below and fill in the blanks.

The ____ of cars waited patiently at the traffic signal.

Queue

The correct collective noun for a group of cars waiting at a traffic signal is "Queue." OPTION 1

Explanation:

Queue is the most appropriate term for a line of vehicles or people waiting in sequence. Line is a more general term for a row of objects, but "queue" specifically implies an ordered waiting line.

Row typically refers to a linear arrangement of objects, but it doesn't convey the sense of waiting or sequence as strongly as "queue."

Formation usually refers to the arrangement or configuration of objects, such as military formations or formations in sports.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The queue of cars waited patiently at the traffic signal."
