Key Points
- Although 'police' appears singular, yet it is used in 'plural' sense. You do not need to add “s”, “
es ” to make them plural. - Nouns that are used in 'plural' despite their singular looks are :
- Cattle, People, Police, Gentry, Peasantry, Electorate, Nobility, Poultry, Clergy, Vermin, etc
- The correct sentence should be: The police are becoming more and more inactive.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer.
