I've never seen anyone write "Those're."

In what way do you want them clarified?

Thanks.

You're welcome!
 
2 and 4 are more natural.

Amy: Whose blouse is this?
Beth: It's mine.

Abe: Whose socks are those?
Bob: They're yours.

Bob: They're yours.

I thought answers should be corresponding to the questions that Beth should say "This is mine." and Bob should say "Those are yours."

Could you explain?

Thanks.
 
Using your words as much as possible, I was providing you with natural sentences (things people might actually say).

It's invented dialogue but real world conversations.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to explain.
