Final evaluation: Identify the demonstrative pronouns in each of the following and state what each refers to:

قَالَ الشَّاعِرُ إِلْيَاس فَيَّاض مَادِحًا: إِذَا كَانَ هَذَا الْعِيدُ فِي الْعَامِ مَرَّةً، فَفِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ وُجُودِكَ عِيدٌ.

The poet Elias Fayyad wrote in praise: If this holiday comes but once a year, then every day of your existence is a holiday.

قَالَ الشَّاعِرُ إِبْرَاهِيم طُوقَان فِي الطَّبِيعَةِ: هَذِهِ الطَّبِيعَةُ أُنْسِي وَمُعِينِي إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ.

The poet Ibrahim Touqan wrote of nature: This nature is my comfort and my aid when I find no other.
