Even though your question is incomplete, I managed to find the exercise on the Internet. What you need to do here is identify the type of the italicized pronoun, which in this case is 'this.'
The pronoun this is a demonstrative pronoun. Demonstrative pronouns are used to point to something or someone, such as this, that, them, etc.
