Answer 2

The answer is 'b) That.'

That smells delicious. What are you cooking?

• Demonstrative pronouns are used to indicate objects near or far from the subject. They distinguish between different objects.

• 'These' and 'those' are plural pronouns. However, 'smells' is a singular verb. Therefore these are not the answer.

• 'This' is used to define something present near. The food must not be near the speaker as the speaker does not know what is being cooked. Thus, it cannot take the pronoun 'this.'

• Hence 'that' is the correct answer.
