📌 Key Concept:

- “This” is used for something close to you (near).
- “That” is used for something far away from you (not near).

- If the image is next to or very close to the sentence (on the same side as the blank), use “This”.
- If the image is farther away (across the page or on the opposite side), use “That”.

Let’s go through each item:
