Apologize sentence for class 4

But does the plural “My apologies” carry more weight than the singular “My apology”? Both phrases refer to a feeling of regret, but only one of them actually means “I’m sorry” (even if you only sort of mean it).

The word apology comes from the Greek apologia, meaning “a speech of defense.” Even though apologies is technically the plural version of apology, that’s not how we use it in English.
