Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.
She has gone to the stationery store to buy a scissor.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. buy a pair of scissors.
The word "scissors" is always plural, so "a scissor" is incorrect.
"Scissors" is a plural noun, and when referring to one unit, we use "a pair of scissors".
Corrected sentence: She has gone to the stationery store to buy a pair of scissors.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
