Let's solve this step-by-step.
The task is to complete each sentence using
"These" or
"Those", depending on the distance of the object shown in the image.
Rule:
-
"These" is used for things that are
close to the speaker.
-
"Those" is used for things that are
far from the speaker.
Now, let's analyze each item based on the arrows and positioning in the image:
---
1.
→ shoes
The arrow points to shoes that are
close (immediately next to the sentence).
✔ These are shoes.
2.
→ pants
The arrow points to pants that are
close.
✔ These are pants.
3.
→ socks
The arrow points to socks that are
close.
✔ These are socks.
4.

Explanation:
We use
"These" for objects near the speaker and
"Those" for objects farther away. In this worksheet, all items except
tables are close to the speaker, so they use "These". The tables are placed farther to the right, indicating distance, so we use
"Those".
✔ Correct usage:
-
These = near
-
Those = far
