Explanation:
We need to fill in the blanks with the correct word:
this,
that,
these, or
those.
Remember the rules:
-
This and
that are for *singular* items.
- Use
this for something *close* (near you).
- Use
that for something *far* (away from you).
-
These and
those are for *plural* items.
- Use
these for *close* plural items.
- Use
those for *far* plural items.
Now look at each question:
1. Arrow points to
one box, and it’s drawn *near* (on the right, same line — implies close). So:
this
2. Two pencils — *plural*, and they’re shown close (same line as question). So:
these
3. One house — *singular*, and it’s drawn close (arrow points directly, no distance implied). So:
this
4. Two crayons — *plural*, close (same line). So:
these
5. One submarine — *singular*, close. So:
this
6. Two shirts — *plural*, close. So:
these
7. One mouse — *singular*, close. So:
this
8. Three gems — *plural*, close. So:
these
Wait — let’s double-check spacing and typical worksheet design. In many such worksheets, even if items are on the right side, if they’re connected by a straight arrow (not dashed or long), they’re considered “near” → use
this/these.
All items are shown directly next to the question with a solid green arrow — meaning they’re *near* the speaker (the student). So all singulars =
this, all plurals =
these.
Let’s list again clearly:
1. 1 item (box) → singular + near →
this
2. 2 items (pencils) → plural + near →
these
3. 1 item (house) → singular + near →
this
4. 2 items (crayons) → plural + near →
these
5. 1 item (submarine) → singular + near →
this
6. 2 items (shirts) → plural + near →
these
7. 1 item (mouse) → singular + near →
this
8. 3 items (gems) → plural + near →
these
Yes — consistent.
Final Answer:
1. this
2. these
3. this
4. these
5. this
6. these
7. this
8. these
