Let's solve this worksheet step by step.

The task is to fill in the blanks with "This" or "That", depending on the proximity of the object shown in the picture. The rule is:

- Use "This" when referring to something close to you (near).
- Use "That" when referring to something far away from you.

In the worksheet, each sentence has an arrow pointing from the blank to a picture. We need to determine whether the object is near (this) or far (that). However, since the images are drawn and there's no physical distance, we must interpret based on the context of the arrows and typical usage.

Looking at the layout:
- The arrows point from left to right.
- The word "This" is used for objects that are closer (immediate), and "That" for ones further.
- But here, all objects are shown as single items with arrows pointing to them, so the distinction might be based on position — often in such worksheets, "This" refers to things on the same line or immediately next, while "That" refers to things further away.

But in most such worksheets like this, "This" is used for objects near (often the one being pointed at directly), and "That" for ones farther off. However, in this case, every item has a direct arrow pointing to it, so they are all being referred to directly.

Actually, in standard English grammar teaching for beginners, "This" is used for something close, and "That" for something far. But in these types of worksheets, the arrow direction helps: if the arrow points to the object, and it's immediately next, it's usually "This"; if it’s further away, it’s "That".

But in this image, each arrow points directly to the object, and they are all placed similarly — so likely, the intention is to teach the basic use of "This" and "That" based on proximity, but since all objects are equally distant visually, the key may be in the context of the sentence.

Wait — actually, looking closely, the arrows are pointing to the pictures, and the sentence is describing the picture. So the object being described is right there, so it should be "This".

However, in many such worksheets, "This" is used for objects near the speaker, and "That" for distant objects. But since all the pictures are shown as equally distant, the logic may be based on which one is closer in the sequence.

But more likely, the intention is simply to practice using "This" because the object is being pointed at now, so it's "This".

But let’s check the standard convention: In early language learning, when a child sees a picture and says “This is a cat,” it means the cat is nearby or being shown.

So, even though the cat is not physically near, in the context of the worksheet, the object being pointed to is "this".

Therefore, the correct answer for all sentences is "This", because each object is being pointed at directly and is the focus of attention.

Let’s go through each one:

1. This is a cat. → Arrow points to cat. Close/here → This
2. This is a dog. → Arrow points to dog → This
3. This is an apple. → Arrow points to apple → This
4. This is a bag. → Arrow points to bag → This
5. This is a rocket. → Arrow points to rocket → This
6. This is a duck. → Arrow points to duck → This
7. This is a kite. → Arrow points to kite → This
8. This is a hat. → Arrow points to hat → This
9. This is a boy. → Arrow points to boy → This
10. This is a house. → Arrow points to house → This

✔ So, every blank should be filled with "This".

Final Answer:

1. This is a cat.
2. This is a dog.
3. This is an apple.
4. This is a bag.
5. This is a rocket.
6. This is a duck.
7. This is a kite.
8. This is a hat.
9. This is a boy.
10. This is a house.

Explanation:

In English, "This" is used to refer to something close or immediate, while "That" is used for something farther away. In this worksheet, each sentence uses an arrow pointing directly to the object, indicating that the object is being presented right now — hence, it is "This". Since none of the objects are depicted as being far away, and all are shown as the current focus, "This" is appropriate for all ten items.

Thus, the correct word for all blanks is "This".
