The correct answer is: C. a pair of old scissors.
A scissor is a tool used for cutting, typically with two blades pivoted so that the sharpened edges slide against each other. The plural form is scissors.
In this sentence, the word “scissor” is being used as a singular noun. However, scissors are always used in pairs. Therefore, the correct way to write this sentence is “He gave me a pair of old scissors.”
The other options are incorrect because they do not agree with the subject and verb of the sentence. Option A, “old scissor,” is incorrect because it is singular, while the subject of the sentence is “He.” Option B, “an old scissors,” is incorrect because it is both singular and plural. Option D, “No improvement,” is incorrect because the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
