Question

choose the demonstrative pronoun that best completes the following sentence.

___ es nuestro.

• ese
• esta
• aquellos
• estas

Explanation:

Analyze grammatical agreement in the sentence

The sentence is: "\_\_\_\_\_ es nuestro."

• The verb "es" is the third-person singular form of "ser". This requires a singular subject.
• The possessive pronoun "nuestro" is masculine singular. Therefore, the demonstrative pronoun must also be masculine singular to maintain gender and number agreement.

Evaluate the given options

• "Ese": Masculine singular. Matches both the singular verb "es" and the masculine singular "nuestro".
• "Esta": Feminine singular. Does not agree in gender with "nuestro".
• "Aquellos": Masculine plural. Does not agree in number with "es" or "nuestro".
• "Estas": Feminine plural. Does not agree in gender or number with "es" or "nuestro".

Answer:

• (A) Ese (Correct answer)
• (B) Esta
• (C) Aquellos
• (D) Estas
