Choice B
Explanation:
A strong verb is a verb that, by its use, adds a lot of meaning to a sentence. For instance, I can write:
I ate dinner.
What do you know about my eating dinner, other than I did it? Nothing. But if I write:
I devoured dinner.
you now know that I didn't just pick at my meal.
Ok - now to the question.
Of the four sentences, the only one that is correct is B:
The mail room staff collected outgoing correspondence
I've bolded the verb.
