Let's check all the variants.

A) His clothes were expensive.

Clothes are a plular noun. We use "were" with plular nouns. But we use "was" with nouns in singular.

B) He gave me 3 useful advice.

There is no such form like "advices". Advice always is singular noun. We don't use it in plular.

C) My jeans are new.

Jeans are plular. This is the correct variant.

D) The news was bad.

News is used always in singular. That is why we put "was", not "were".

E) There were 10 sheep on the farm.

There is no form like a "sheeps" too. Sheep doesn't change in plular form.

Sheep (singular) = sheep (plular).

The correct sentence is C) My jeans are new.

Subject: Time out

Dear Ben,

Thank you for your email message. I hope everything is fine with you and your family.

In your letter you asked me about films. Well, I like horror and comedy films. They make me forget about everyday problems. I can sit and relax. To tell the truth, I like watching films in the cinema because the sound and the quality of the film is better than at home. You can buy pop-corn and share your time with your friends. If I had a chance to make a film, I would make it about the life of a scientist who made a great discovery.

Well, I’d better go now as I have to help my mother in the kitchen.

Write me back soon.

Best wishes,

Tanya
