Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Answer:

B)These

Explanation:

This is used with singular or uncountable nouns (i.e. this egg or this music). These refers to plural nouns (i.e. these cookies). When the noun is omitted after this and these, they become pronouns (i.e. turn this off when you leave). Demonstratives are words we use to indicate nouns in a sentence.
