When we talk about someone collectively like "the poor", "the youth", "the younger"
for example when we scold or taunt or reproach or rebuke younger children.
Can we say
The younger gets rebuked/reproached/scolded.
The younger get rebuked/reproached/scolded.
The younger get or the younger gets?
And if we want to use them in "passive voice" will we use "is" or "are"?
The younger is rebuked/reproached/scolded.
The younger are rebuked/reproached/scolded.
