Question restatement: Complete the dialogues with the most appropriate demonstratives. The first line shows Minji pointing at a book that Mark is holding, and the dialogue asks for the suitable demonstrative to fill in the blank before '책'.

Context analysis: In Korean, demonstratives 이/이 책 means 'this book' (near the speaker), 그 책 means 'that book' (near the listener or previously mentioned), and 저 책 means 'that book over there' (far from both speaker and listener). Since the sentence is about a book that Mark is holding, the referent is a specific book already in view and context, and the natural choice is to use 그 책 to refer to the book as something Mark is holding and which is being discussed between the speakers.

Option assessment:
- 이 책: This book. Usage would be appropriate if the book were near the speaker (Minji) or being referred to as immediately near her. In this situation, although Minji is addressing Mark about the book, the common phrasing when the referent is the one Mark is holding and is known to both speakers is not 이 책.
- 그 책: That book. This fits the context because the book is being pointed to and is associated with Mark’s possession; it is something both speakers recognize but is not the book right in front of Minji physically in her immediate space. It aligns with typical Korean usage for a book Mark is holding and being discussed.
- 저 책: That book over there. Used for something distant from both speakers. Since the book is currently being held by Mark and is not distant, 이/그 is more appropriate than 저 here.

Why the provided answer (그) is appropriate: It aligns with the speaker’s intent to refer to the book that Mark is holding and that is being discussed between the two speakers. The demonstrative 그 conveys a referent understood by both participants in the interaction, which is exactly the book in question.

Why other possibilities would be less fitting: If 이 책 were used, it would imply the book is near Minji, which isn’t the typical frame when referring to the book Mark is holding. 저 책 would imply the book is distant from both, which contradicts the observation that Mark is currently holding it. Since the book is specific and shared knowledge in the moment, 그 책 captures the intended distance and familiarity.

Note on the given data: The answer_options field is empty in this item, so there are no alternative choices to compare within the prompt. The single provided answer is 그, which matches the natural interpretation of the scene where Minji asks about the book Mark is holding.
