Choose the correct sentence: ‘The police ___ investigating the case.’

Explanation

Certain nouns, such as ‘police,’ ‘cattle,’ and ‘people’ (in the sense of persons in general), are always treated as grammatically plural in English, with no commonly used singular verb form, giving ‘The police are investigating the case.’ This differs from collective nouns like ‘committee,’ which can take either a singular or plural verb depending on context.
