come in varied form(s)

Difference between varied and various
varied + singular: "varied" qualifies a singular noun.
There was a varied group of people. - group is singular

(varied + singular)s: when the noun is in plural form, that's not because varied is qualifying the plural form, but because the whole of "varied + singular" is pluralized.


various + plural: "various" qualifies a plural form.
