Well.. my doubt here is ....

scorpions is plural..then why "its" as a pronoun!!

It is "the scorpions" which i guess, is singular

[mals24]

C looks the best among the remaining

'the scorpions has a cluster of nerve cells in its'
but why do we use a singular 'has' instead of a plural 'have' since 'scorpions' is plural.

Is this option posted correctly???

[raunekk]

is "the scorpions" singular here ???

Hi Raunekk,

It seems the source from where you have picked up this question, have a typo mistake.

This question is already discussed over this forum and contains no such typo mistakes. Check the following link to see that question:

Also worth to be noted that Scorpion is a type of Arachnids. So Scorpion is compared with his family of other Arachnids to distinguish Scorpion with rest of its family.
