Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following best defines "there"?

an expression of possession

a term denoting a place or location

The choice that defines "there" correctly is the one that denotes a place or location. This word is commonly used in English to indicate a specific point in space or to refer to a situation or condition. For example, in sentences like "The book is over there," "there" tells the listener exactly where the book is located.

This definition contrasts with other choices; for instance, an expression of possession is more accurately associated with the word "their," and a representation of multiple items can be associated with "there" in a different context but does not capture its primary function. A pronoun used for emphasis would relate more to the word "it" in different contexts, and while "there" can sometimes be useful in exclamatory phrases, it does not serve the role of emphasis on its own. Therefore, "there" is best defined by its indication of place or location.
