Question 3 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

I regret those expensive jeans.

Answer
A
that I bought
B
buying
C
to buy

Explanation

Use “regret” followed by a gerund (-ing form) when expressing regret about an action you have already done. So the sentence is “I regret buying those expensive jeans.” “To buy” is not the usual form here, and “that I bought” would need to be placed after “jeans”: “I regret those expensive jeans that I bought.”
