नामांचे प्रकार व वचन नियमांवर आधारित वाक्यांचे विश्लेषण:
वाक्यांचे विश्लेषण:
•
(a) The scissors are blunt: बरोबर. कात्री (scissors), चष्मा (spectacles), पॅन्ट (trousers) ही दोन भागांनी बनलेली नामे नेहमी अनेकवचनी मानली जातात आणि अनेकवचनी क्रियापद (are) घेतात.
•
(b) Statistics was always my worst subject: बरोबर. जेव्हा 'Statistics', 'Mathematics', 'Physics' हे विषयाचे नाव म्हणून येतात, तेव्हा ते एकवचनी असतात आणि एकवचनी क्रियापद (was) घेतात.
•
(c) The economics behind their policies are unreasonable: बरोबर. जेव्हा 'economics' चा अर्थ एखाद्या धोरणामागील आर्थिक पैलू/हिशेब (financial aspects/facts) असा होतो, तेव्हा ते अनेकवचनी मानले जाते आणि अनेकवचनी क्रियापद (are) घेते.
•
(d) The governing party usually do bad in mid term by-elections: चुकीचे. 'do' या क्रियापदाचे विशेषण 'badly' (adverb) असायला हवे ('do bad' अशुद्ध आहे).
त्यामुळे फक्त (a), (b) आणि (c) ही वाक्ये अचूक आहेत.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (1) Only (a), (b), (c)
Explanation:
The question tests number agreement with dual-part nouns and nouns ending in '-ics'.
Detailed Analysis:
•
(a) The scissors are blunt: Correct. Dual-part tools/garments (*scissors, shears, trousers*) are inherently plural and take plural verbs.
•
(b) Statistics was always my worst subject: Correct. When denoting an academic field or subject of study, words ending in *-ics* take singular verbs.
•
(c) The economics behind their policies are unreasonable: Correct. When referring to financial aspects or practical calculations, *economics* takes a plural verb.
•
(d) The governing party usually do bad...: Incorrect. Lacks the proper adverbial modifier (*do badly*).
Thus, only (a), (b), and (c) are correct.
