Pick out the sentence that has a demonstrative adjective in it.

Question

Accepted Answer

Here's the explanation for why Option 2 is correct and the others are not:

**Explanation for Option 2 being correct:**

A demonstrative adjective is a word that points out a specific noun and comes directly before the noun it modifies. The demonstrative adjectives are *this, that, these, and those*.

In the sentence, "This kind of question is often asked in examinations," the word **"This"** is a demonstrative adjective.
*   It comes directly before the noun "kind" (which is part of the noun phrase "kind of question").
*   It modifies "kind," specifying *which* kind of question is being referred to. It points out a particular type of question.
Therefore, Option 2 correctly contains a demonstrative adjective.

**Explanation for why other options are incorrect:**

*   **Option 1: "It is a twenty-kilometre walk."**
    This sentence does not contain any demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those). "Twenty-kilometre" is a compound adjective describing the walk, and "a" is an indefinite article. "It" is a pronoun.

*   **Option 3: "Each of them received ten rupees."**
    This sentence does not contain a demonstrative adjective. "Each" here functions as a distributive pronoun (as it's followed by "of them"). "Ten" is a numeral adjective modifying "rupees."

*   **Option 4: "His written statement differs from his oral one."**
    This sentence does not contain a demonstrative adjective. "His" is a possessive adjective. "Written" and "oral" are descriptive adjectives modifying "statement" and "one" (referring to statement), respectively.
