Answer 2

Answer:

The two boys were seated at the bedside of a girl of about twenty. She was wearing a pretty lace jacket and was listening to the chatter of her little brothers.

Explanation:

Determiners in linguistics are the words which can be used before nouns or pronouns to decide their meaning.

They can be articles( a, an the), demonstratives (this, that, these etc.), Possessives(my, yours, our etc.), and quantifiers (a lot of, many, any, some etc.).

Essentially, such clarifying words explain whether an individual is speaking about something general or something specific.
