Note
A plural that counts what English usually leaves uncounted. Participation is most often a mass noun, as in her participation or public participation. The plural appears when separate instances are tallied: distinct episodes of taking part, or several stakes, meaning ownership interests or profit-sharing rights, held at once. When nothing needs counting, the singular reads more naturally: her participation in several programs.
