Good work! Just a few corrections: 2 - paper is uncountable 6 - London is not collective 14 - data is not plural or concrete

Thank you so much for the reply sir.                                                          Sir I have some doubts on the nouns (data and London):                                                       1) In many cases data  can be seen through eyes so why can't we consider data as concrete?                                  
 2) I just checked in google now and it says "data is treated as plural" . Sir please elaborate on your point "data is not plural".                               3) Sir while identifying the type of noun "London" my thought process is as follows:    "London" is a city and city means a unit, so I have assumed "London" as collective noun . Sir please correct my thought process.        
                                             
 Sorry for long message sir

The whole 'data' question is a strange one. Data is uncountable and as such, has no plural form. There are those who say that data is the plural of datum but we don't speak Latin - I hate to say it, but google is wrong. Data is uncountable and therefore singular. You can also see when someone is angry but anger is abstract as well. Ditto beer and milk - visible is not the same as concrete.
Collective nouns refer to the name for a group of nouns, such as a flock of sheep. Although London is comprised of many thngs, you wouldn't say 'a London of houses'.
