Q230 #15sEnglish: Plural-only nouns: using plural verbs and pronouns with words like 'scissors' or 'trousers'.
'Can you pass me the scissors, please?' 'Here you are. [___] so be careful.
A. They are very sharp
B. Scissors is very sharp
C. It's very sharp
The correct answer is: A. They are very sharp ✅
✅ "They are very sharp" → Correct, because "scissors" is a plural noun in English and takes a plural pronoun and verb: "they are." We say: "The scissors are on the table. They are sharp."
❌ "Scissors is very sharp" → Incorrect, because "scissors" is grammatically plural, so it should be "Scissors are," not "Scissors is."
❌ "It's very sharp" → Incorrect, because "it" refers to a singular item, but the word "scissors" is treated as plural. We normally don't use "it" for "scissors" in standard English.
