Hi,

I am afraid of heights.
( Why 'heights' in plural? what does it mean? Can it be singular? )
 
'Heights' means 'high places' like towers and clifftops.

'Height' is a dimension, like 'length'.

I can't imagine anybody being afraid of length.

1) We need to maintain the peak level sales.
( Can 'sale' in singular? any difference? )
 
It's sales. We don't have just one sale, we hope.
