● Practise placing the suitable far demonstrative, ذٰلِكَ, تِلْكَ, ذَانِكَ, تَانِكَ, or أُولٰئِكَ, in each blank:
1. __________ اَلنُّجُومُ (stars) -> تِلْكَ اَلنُّجُومُ (far demonstrative for a non-rational plural).
2. __________ اَلسَّيَّارَتَانِ (two cars) -> تَانِكَ اَلسَّيَّارَتَانِ (feminine dual).
