Answer 1

Answer:

I need scissors.

This is the best things to do.

He is the alumni of our university.

Answer 2

I need a pair of scissors.

This is the best thing to do.

He is an alumnus of our university.

• I need a pair of scissors: The word scissors is always used in plural form due to the presence of two blades and thus, we use the term 'pair of'.

• This is the best thing to do: Articles consist of 'a', 'an', and 'the'. 'The' is used when the situation is said to be specific.

• He is an alumnus of our university: Alumnus is used for males and for females we use alumna. The word alumni are used when there are multiple people.
