reflect the great efforts vs reflect the great effort

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Reflect the great efforts' is used when referring to multiple efforts made by different individuals or groups, while 'reflect the great effort' is used when talking about a singular, collective effort. The choice between the two depends on whether the emphasis is on the individual contributions or the overall endeavor.
