Committee is a singular noun so it is 1

The word committee is considered as singular. There is only 1 committee. That's why the answer is "is".

First one. It follows the singularity of committee since committee is a single entity

If you see, "committee" is a collective noun. It is then singular. Which is why the ans is 1
