expedition or expedition Hello! Do you think it’s better to use “expeditions” or “expedition?” Why? Many explorers have died on expeditions / expedition to the Antarctic. (Moutsou E. Use of English B2. For All Exams) Thank you!

Expeditions. You aren't trying to say that on one expedition many explorers died. You are trying to say that over the course of many different expeditions, many explorers died. To do so, explorers and expeditions must agree.

Expeditions.

I would say 'expedition' because each explorer died on one expedition. It's just my take though.

I think it has to be 'expeditions' in this case. 'Many explorers died an expedition to..' means they were on the same expedition.:)
