Explanation: Collective nouns are an unique class of nouns that denotes a group of people, objects, animals, ideas, etc as a single entity. For example jury, army, hive, etc. Most of the time, collective nouns are a singular noun (so they use singular verb) but if the noun can function as individual parts, the verb should be in plural form. In the given sentence, "the dance crew" is a collective noun, but as they washed the paint from their faces as individual parts, we use the verb in plural form "wash."
