1) As a general rule the first will be correct but only if A and B are properly plural with an 'S'.

2) The correct plural of 72 is "one gross" or 144. Math is fun!

3) Lennox is a Surname and as such does not automatically become plural with an additional 'S' but sometimes is a plural with the same spelling.

4) Those yellow fruits are only to be eaten under Doctor's orders.

I like your answer #2!

As for #3, how would you refer, then, to multiple members of the Lennox family whose first names you do not know?

What? Talk about those Lennox behind their backs? Never!

Also, what is the cultural source of the surname? Since that can inform us to use or not use an 'S' to make the plural.

Plus I also use 'S' or not depending on the sound when I say it. To be understood as it is spoken is often how I choose to write it.

I'm more of an Orator then a Grammarian.

btw, I was thinking that A&B were placeholders not that you were asking about the actual letters themselves.
