mother777:

Flock can be used for both birds and hoved animals which move in groups. So it can be used for sheep


But herd is only used for group of animals..and humans..
So I feel herd of sheep is more apt.

As such both can be used, not sure which one the teacher approves of as correct answer.

Did your child check with teacher?

The correct answer from the sch is flock! My DS answered herd:(
I would agrees both acceptable.

Both should be accceptable, thought 'flock' is probably more common for sheep. I dislike having to 2nd-guess the teacher - this is just a bad question.

Yes, that's right. There were no picture. They were asked to write an article.
