Which term is a tool for cutting, treated as singular?

• A. Pair of Scissors
• B. Daily Food
• C. Candor
• D. Agitation

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how some words that name two parts can still be treated as a single item. A pair of scissors is a single cutting tool, even though the word “scissors” is plural. The phrase signals one instrument made of two blades, so you say it as a singular unit: “A pair of scissors is on the table.” The other options don’t refer to a cutting tool at all, so they don’t fit the requirement of being a cutting instrument that can be treated as singular.
