    Should be plural. Would convey a sense of gravity to the perspicacious inquisitor.

  • Any of the "inherent pair" words should be singular:

    scissors
    pants
    shorts
    jeans

    Not sure about singulars that should be plural. There are just some nouns that lack distinct plural forms like "deer" and "moose".
