Question 3 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

I regret those expensive jeans.

Answer
A
that I bought
B
buying
C
to buy

Explanation

Use “regret” followed by a gerund (a verb ending in -ing) when expressing regret about an action. So the sentence is “I regret buying those expensive jeans.” “To buy” does not fit this meaning, and “that I bought” would need to be placed after “jeans” to form a complete sentence: “I regret those expensive jeans that I bought.”
