Correct Answer: is a
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The phrase "fifty dollars" refers to a plural amount. In this context, it's considered a singular amount of money. When referring to a total amount of money as a single entity or sum, it's treated as singular, hence requiring the singular verb "is". This maintains the proper subject verb agreement in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Fifty dollars is a high price to pay for this shirt."
