Which of the following sentences is CORRECT?

• A. My pair of scissor are blunt.
• B. My scissor has blunt.
• C. My scissor is blunt.
• D. My pair of scissors is blunt

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Correct Usage of "Pair of Scissors" as Singular 

Step 1: Understanding the Rule

The word "scissors" is always plural, but when referring to "a pair of scissors," it is treated as singular.

Step 2: Choosing the Correct Verb Form

The correct phrase is:

"A pair of scissors is blunt."

Step 3: Eliminating Incorrect Options

• "Are blunt" (Option A): Incorrect because "pair" is singular, requiring "is" instead of "are".
• "Has blunt" (Option B): Incorrect because "has" should be followed by a past participle, not an adjective.
• "Scissor" (Option C): Incorrect because "scissors" is always plural, and "scissor" as a singular noun is incorrect.

Step 4: Correct Usage

The correct sentence should be:

"A pair of scissors is blunt."

Final Answer:

Thus, the correct answer is Option D ("A pair of scissors is blunt").
