Correct Answer: buy a pair of scissors


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : The sentence needs "a pair of scissors" because "scissors" is a plural noun. "Pair" is used to indicate two connected objects functioning together. The sentence means she's purchasing a tool with two blades for cutting.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: She has gone to the stationery store to buy a pair of scissors.
