The selected answer is wrong:
Some nouns are naturally plural e.g high spirits,outskirts,grassroots

Y'all should look imto the question. It says the dancers were in ___________ before departure. You all should consider the fact they said dancers and dancers were in cloud9 before they danced and not relating to the context did they say the man or the woman or the teacher, they said the dancers so that means they've probably drank some hard stuff in a normal sterotypical reasoning about dancers making the answer high spirits not good spirits. The Good spirits in the option would be used in a case like "They accepted the offer because he was in good spirits". Something like that so y'all should think about that before trying to argue with a system

The correct phrase is "good spirits" or "high spirits." However, "good spirits" is more commonly used in this context.
"Spirits" is a plural noun when referring to a person's mood or emotional state. Therefore, "good spirit" and "high spirit" are grammatically incorrect.
The correct phrase is "good spirits" or "high spirits".
The most appropriate option in this context is "good spirits".
Therefore the answer is A
