Which pronoun points out a specific person, place, or thing: this, that, these, those?

• A. Interrogative Pronoun
• B. Indefinite Pronoun
• C. Demonstrative Pronoun
• D. Relative Pronoun

Answer: (C)

Pointing out a specific person, place, or thing is what demonstrative pronouns do. This group includes words like this, that, these, and those. They indicate exactly which item is being talked about and can stand on their own as the subject or object in a sentence, such as This is my book or Those were my shoes.

Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions (for example, who, what, which). Indefinite pronouns refer to non-specific items or people (such as someone, anything, few). Relative pronouns introduce a clause that describes a noun (like who, which, that). The given set of words—this, that, these, those—are used to point to specific things, so they are demonstrative pronouns.
