I think the question should be choose the correct sentence.

Hey there is crews not crew,

Meet is suitable for living and face is more suitable than meet because they are going to face something hard on their way.

There is no word like "busied" friends. Busy is an adjective. Its not a verb. So it is also a mistake in that sentence.

I go on with Parul...Me too think the same

Sphutch said:   1 decade ago
I agree with Parul, 'crew' is a write usage...

I agree with Parul

Ankit said:   1 decade ago
@Parul is right.

Crew refers to a group of people.

The crew was on board.

Parul said:   1 decade ago
I think it should be the crew was on board as it refers to a group n we use a singular tense with it.
