- has

- Have
- None of the above
Hint:
A collective noun is a name for a group of people or things such as 'family', 'class' 'pair' and 'flock'. collective nouns usually take a singular verb, because they are singular in construction, but they sometimes take a plural verb.
The correct answer is: has
'A parliament of owls has ate the grains', 'parliament' is usually followed by a singular verb. Here, the word 'a parliament' like other collective nouns, is used as a singular noun as one group and so, the verb 'has' which is a singular verb, is used.
