<h2>Answer:</h2>
In this exercise we must use the concept of demonstrative adjectives. These adjectives demonstrate a quality about the noun they modify. So this quality is the location in respect to the speaker or the listener. There are three basic demonstrative adjectives:
- Este is used when referring something near to the speaker in space or time.
- Ese tells us about something more distant talking about nouns that are further from the speaker but they can be near the listener.
- Aquel is used when pointing out something that is far away from both the speaker and the listener.
So we can apply this concept to the following dialogue:
CLAUDIA: ¿Quieres comprar esta corbata, Gerardo?
GERARDO: No, no quiero comprar esa. Prefiero esa del escaparate.
CLAUDIA: Ésa es bonita, pero no hace juego con tu chaqueta.
GERARDO: Mira esa chaqueta. Es muy elegante y está a buen precio. Sí, puedo usar esa y darle a mi hermano ésta.
CLAUDIA: ¿Y este cinturón?
GERARDO: Éste es muy elegante. ¿Es caro?
CLAUDIA: Es más barato que aquellos tres del escaparate.
