In order to determine the correct usage of the word "groves," we need to understand its meaning and possible context. "Groves" typically refers to a small group of trees, especially those planted for commercial or decorative purposes. Now let's examine each sentence option:
A. "Five groves of pigeons landed in the square."
This sentence seems to have an incorrect usage of the word "groves." Pigeons are birds and not typically associated with groves.
B. "The carrier delivered three groves of papers."
This sentence seems to have an incorrect usage of the word "groves." Papers are not commonly described as groves.
C. "The guitar was fitted with half a dozen groves."
This sentence seems to have an incorrect usage of the word "groves." "Groves" does not seem to relate to the context of guitars.
D. "The storm wiped out six groves of fruit trees."
This sentence seems to have the correct usage of the word "groves." Fruit trees are often planted in groups and referred to as groves. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
So, the correct answer is D.
