EnglishPrepositions and Determiners
- Athus
- Bthere
- Csupposed
- Dthese
Explanation
The blank needs a determiner pointing to the claims just mentioned, and 'these' is the demonstrative determiner that does exactly that: 'these claims'. 'Thus' is an adverb of manner or consequence, 'there' is an adverb of place, and 'supposed' is an adjective or verb form — none can determine the noun 'claims'. Only 'these' fits grammatically.
