Decide whether the italicized word is being used as a determiner or a pronoun.
1). these bagels are stale.
a- determiner
b- pronoun

A. Determiner

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to understand what determiner is.

A determiner is a word that introduces a noun. It always comes before a noun, not after; it can come before an adjective used to describe the noun.

There are 4 main types of determiners: articles, demonstratives, quantifiers, and possessives.

A cat is a good pet - determiner-article

These black raspberries are sour - determiner-demonstrative

He ate all the cookies - determiner-quantifier

It's our secret recipe - determiner-possessive

As for our sentence - These bagels are stale - the word 'these' is a determiner (demonstrative pronoun).

Demonstrative pronouns are also used as determiners in English. There are four of them: this, that, these and those. Demonstratives are used in a situation in which the speaker can point to the item they mean, making them even more specific than a definite article.

To sum up, the word 'these' is a demonstrative pronoun and we can think option B is correct as it is a pronoun; but exactly in this sentence, it is a pronoun that plays a role of a determiner.
