Question 3 • TX-English IV

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 that has already happened. So the correct sentence is “I regret buying those expensive jeans.” “To buy” does not fit this meaning, and “that I bought” would need to be added after “jeans,” not substituted for the existing phrase.
