[@inamullah7573]

A colorful flock of migrating birds was flying south for the winter. I think was is the correct word because a colorful flock is singular. What do you think. Please explain it.

[@LastMinuteEnglish]

Hi! See that in British English, collective nouns (as flock in this case) can often take a plural verb if the focus is on the individuals within the group. And here the focus is on "birds". Cheers!

1-went/a
2-was/an

[@LastMinuteEnglish]

We needed the full sentence I'm afraid! And it can't be 'went' because we need 'to' as well. So 'visited' is correct. The rest are correct though, great job!
