Sentences 1, 3, and 5.
- 1 ("That was the first time I ever tried sushi.") — "That" is a demonstrative pronoun referring to a particular occasion.
- 3 ("These are the pencils that belong on the art table.") — "These" is a demonstrative pronoun referring to the pencils.
- 5 ("We decided that those would be better than the three we had.") — "Those" is a demonstrative pronoun referring to previously mentioned items.
Sentences 2 and 4 are incorrect: 2 uses "that" as a conjunction, not a demonstrative, and 4 has a number agreement error ("Those book" → "That book" or "Those books").
