Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to fill in the correct word —
this, that, these, or those — based on the image and context.

Understanding the Words:
-
This – used for one object that is
close to the speaker.
-
That – used for one object that is
far from the speaker.
-
These – used for
multiple objects that are
close.
-
Those – used for
multiple objects that are
far.
> Note: In this worksheet, we assume "close" = near the question (left side), and "far" = farther away (right side). The arrows indicate direction and distance.

Now let’s go through each question:
