_____ exhibition closed two months ago.

Question

Accepted Answer

That exhibition closed two months ago.

**Explanation:**

*   **Why "That" (Option 4) is correct:** "That" is a demonstrative adjective used to refer to a specific, singular noun (exhibition) that is further away in distance or time. In this context, "two months ago" indicates that the exhibition is not current or recent, making "that" the appropriate choice to refer to a specific exhibition in the past. It implies the speaker and listener both know which exhibition is being discussed, but it's not happening now.

*   **Why "Those" (Option 1) is incorrect:** "Those" is the plural form of "that." Since "exhibition" is singular, "those" cannot be used. It would only be correct if the sentence referred to multiple exhibitions (e.g., "Those exhibitions closed two months ago").

*   **Why "These" (Option 2) is incorrect:** "These" is the plural form of "this" and is used to refer to multiple things that are near in distance or time. Since "exhibition" is singular and the event happened "two months ago," "these" is inappropriate.

*   **Why "All" (Option 3) is incorrect:** "All" implies a quantity or totality. While it *could* be used in a sentence like "All exhibitions closed two months ago" (meaning every exhibition closed then), it doesn't fit grammatically or logically with the singular "exhibition" without further modification (e.g., "All of that exhibition..."). It also changes the meaning of the sentence significantly. The original sentence implies a specific exhibition, not a general statement about all exhibitions.
