Answer:

Pronoun

Explanation:

In the sentence - This is a big mess. - 'this' is used as a pronoun, to be exact a demonstrative pronoun. 

A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to point at something specific within a sentence. It can be items in space or time.

These pronouns are This, That (for singular), These and Those (for plural).

This / These are used for singular items that are nearby. That / Those are used for multiple items that are not near us.

Examples:

This is my cat. - we can point at it, the cat is near us.

That is a plane. - the plane is not near us, so we use 'that'.

These are my favorite toys. - we point at many toys, and they are near us.

Those are my classmates. - we point at the classmates, they are not near.

Why 'this' is not a determiner in the sentence - This is a big mess.

A determiner is a word that introduces a noun. It always comes before a noun, not after or without a noun near!

This car is bad.

These pies look delicious.

I hope it helped you :)

Why do different types of supporting materials work better in different situations. Give an example.

Alex_Xolod [135]

The type of supporting material that you employ in an essay is directly related to the claim that you make in your paper. Different claims and arguments require different levels of evidence and support. Moreover, the type of support they need will also vary. Some claims might need numerical support, while others might need the consensus of experts.

For example, imagine a historical essay that wants to prove that World War II was more deadly than World War I. This essay would most likely need statistical evidence that would come from public records. Compare this to an essay that argues that World War II had a deeper impact on culture and society than World War I. This essay will require different types of materials, such as essays written by other people supporting either position.
