Question

Identify the word in italics.

This is exactly what I was talking about.

demonstrative pronoun

indefinite pronoun

interrogative pronoun

relative pronoun

not a pronoun

this is italic

Answer 1

demonstrative...it is a pronoun that is taking the place of a noun...specifically the subject

Answer 2

The correct answer is demonstrative pronoun

Step-by-step explanation:

Within a sentence, a demonstrative pronoun is used to point to something specific. Furthermore, a demonstrative pronoun replaces the noun into a sentence. There are four demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those, where this and that are singular, while these and those are plurals.

Bearing in mind the explained above, it could be said that into the sentence "This is exactly what I was talking about" the word this corresponds to a demonstrative pronoun since it not only points to something specific but also replaces the noun.
