Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is pair i.e. option 4.

  • "Pair" is a noun that refers to two items or things that are matched or go together.
  • The other options, "pare," "pear," and "payor," do not fit the context of the sentence.

  1. "Pare" is a verb that means to trim or reduce the outer part or excess material from something.

  2. "Pear" is a noun and refers to a type of fruit.

  3. "Payor" is a term used in finance to describe the person who makes a payment. 

  4. "Pair" is a noun that refers to two items or things that are matched or go together, often in a complementary way. In the context of the sentence, it indicates that the security guard needs two shoes, which is the correct word choice.
