Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

The answer is 'that.'

That ball is mine.

• In the given sentence, we need to fill in the blank with the correct demonstrative adjective from the given options.

• Adjectives refer to describing words and can be of various types. Demonstrative adjectives refer to the adjectives which help in determining the position of a person or an object at a particular time and space.

• The adjective 'this' is used to refer to objects which are relatively at a closer position to the subject. 'That' is used to refer to the objects which are far away from us.

• If the ball was close to our subject, he would not have said that it was his ball. He would only say that if he suddenly got a glimpse of his ball from afar.

• Thus, 'that' is the correct answer.
