answer explanation
<p>Jim's resume is more impressive than <u>that</u> of the other applicant.</p>
<p>The correct answer is (D) <u>that</u>.</p>
<p>In this sentence, we are comparing the impressiveness of Jim's resume to the other applicant's resumes. The phrase "of the other applicant" is referring to a specific resume, so we need to use a demonstrative pronoun that can replace the noun "resume". <span style="font-size: 13.008px;">The pronouns "this", "them", and "those" are not appropriate in this context because they do not specifically refer to the resume. However, the pronoun "that" is the correct choice because it can replace the noun "resume" and indicate that we are comparing Jim's resume to the specific resume of the other applicant.</span></p>
