Are you sure you're being asked about gender?

Here's a section on collective nouns:

And here's one on collective adjectives:

To me, though, all these forms in parentheses are simply plurals. The last one is plural and reflexive.
YesYes. The question original is: Indicate the case, person, number and gender of the bracketed words. I only have trouble with indicating the gender.

Thanks!
My other friend with the same assignment put dual for all of them.
In English, none of those has a gender.
