Correct ~~> 1, 3, 5, 7.
All the nouns are considered collective nouns: http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/collectivenoun.htm
1. The crowd was small.
2. The crow were deeply impressed by the concert.
3. The audience was large/big.
4. The audience were began to talk loudly.
5. The family is large/big.
6. The family are all well.
7. The committee is composed of 6 members.
8. The committee are having dinner.
--------------------------
Are they all grammatical? Can we use both big and large? Do the four nouns have the same character? Crowd, audience, family and committee, I mean.
