Question

which of the following sentences correctly uses a demonstrative pronoun?
a. my dog was not here when i got home.
b. i will visit that classroom later.
c. my friends went over there to play video games.
d. this is the ice cream parlor i told you about.

Explanation:

Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) point out specific people/things.

• Option A: No demonstrative pronoun (uses "my" (possessive) and "when" (conjunction)).
• Option B: "that" here is a demonstrative adjective (modifying "classroom"), not a pronoun (needs to replace a noun, not modify).
• Option C: No demonstrative pronoun (uses "my" (possessive) and "there" (adverb)).
• Option D: "This" is a demonstrative pronoun, replacing/identifying "the ice cream parlor" (functions as a pronoun to refer to the parlor).

Answer:

D. This is the ice cream parlor I told you about.
