d. adverb
In the expression "Mina, this is Mike. Mike, this is Mina," Mina is being introduced to Mike.
When introducing people, we typically say the name of the person being introduced first, followed by "this is" or "meet." In this case, Mina's name is mentioned first, so she is the one being introduced to someone else, specifically to Mike.
To determine who is being introduced to whom, it is helpful to look at the structure of the sentence. The sentence format usually follows the pattern "Person A, this is Person B," indicating that Person B is being introduced to Person A.
