Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: pride

Explanation:

  • pride — A pride is the established collective noun for a group of lions.

  • shoal — Refers to a group of fish, so it does not apply to lions.

  • convoy — Used for groups of vehicles or ships traveling together, not animals.

  • flock — Applies to birds or sometimes sheep; it is not the correct term for lions.

Therefore, "pride" best completes the sentence: "I chanced to see a pride of lions walking through the forest."
