Note
A regular plural, made with -s, and it carries every countable meaning of proposal: schemes laid before a committee, the documents that set them out, offers of marriage, and business offers that become contracts once accepted. Context decides which is meant. Three proposals on a desk are papers, while three proposals in a love story are offers. It takes a plural verb: the proposals were rejected.
