Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun:
_____ were the best days of my childhood.

• A. This
• B. Those
• C. That
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Those

The pronouns that demonstrate (point out) some particular persons or things are called demonstrative pronouns.

The demonstrative pronouns 'that' and 'those' are used to refer to things far away. 'That' is used in case of singular nouns and 'Those' are used to in case of plural pronouns. Since in the given sentence the speaker is speaking about his childhood days which is in the distant past, 'those' must be used.

Thus option B is the correct answer.

The demonstrative pronoun 'this' is used to refer to what is near. It is used to refer to singular nouns.

Thus options A,C,D are incorrect.
