To determine which item is farther away from the speaker, we need to understand the meaning of the different options presented.
In Spanish, the demonstrative adjectives "esta," "esa," and "aquella" indicate the proximity of an object to the speaker. Here is a breakdown of what each of these adjectives means:
- "Esta" is used to refer to something close to the speaker. It translates to "this" or "this one."
- "Esa" indicates something that is a little further away from the speaker. It translates to "that" or "that one."
- "Aquella" indicates something that is far away from the speaker. It translates to "that" or "that one (over there)."
Now, let's analyze the given options:
a. aquella chaqueta (that jacket over there) - This option uses the demonstrative adjective "aquella," indicating that the jacket being referred to is far away from the speaker.
b. esta chaqueta (this jacket) - This option uses the demonstrative adjective "esta," indicating that the jacket being referred to is close to the speaker.
c. una chaqueta (a jacket) - This option does not provide any information about the proximity of the jacket to the speaker.
d. esa chaqueta (that jacket) - This option uses the demonstrative adjective "esa," indicating that the jacket being referred to is a little further away from the speaker.
Based on this analysis, the option that indicates the jacket is farthest away from the speaker is "aquella chaqueta" (option a).
