Which term refers to a tool for cutting that is considered singular in number?

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

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how we treat quantity when a phrase names a single object made of parts. A pair of scissors is one cutting tool, even though the word scissors is plural. Because the item is considered as one unit, the singular form is used with it: a pair of scissors is on the table. That’s why this term is the best answer.

The other options don’t fit because they aren’t tools for cutting. Daily food refers to nourishment, while a preposition is a word class, and candor means honesty.
