Note
A plural that takes in every countable use of its singular: a performer's bookings, a couple's betrothals, the separate clashes of a conflict, the moments when fencers' blades meet. It cannot carry the uncountable sense of being absorbed or drawn in. Audience engagement stays singular, so "their engagements" means appointments or encounters, never their interest. Context decides which countable meaning applies.
