"Das ist wichtig!"

Translation: That is important!

[OlaB.5]

Why "this is important" is not correct?

[E5Pepe]

Same here, I want to know why Duolingo doesn't accept this answer

[Raphaelle604816]

I'm wondering as well...

[DanFelker]

I agree that it should be accepted. Report it.

[nowave7]

Still not fixed! 'This is important' still not accepted!

[caseylgrooten90]

I have typed "That is important!" Three times now, and it keeps saying I am wrong.

[gSY55q97]

Please report it to Duolingo.

Heard it as" das ist richtig", sound quality is poor

[JosuEduard15]

Das means this or that. So why is it wrong?

Understanding the confusion above - in German how does one clarify the difference between "This is important" vs "That is important". If one were to say "This is important and that is not important", how would you clarify between that and this?
