i have a small doubt that im unable to get a convincing answer from MGMAT. can anyone help?
1. Our cat is cuter than those in the shelter
this sentence is wrong (as per the guide) because those doesnt have an antecendent
whereas;
2. some people believe that the benefits of a healthy diet outweigh those of regular exercise
this sentence is correct
can anyone explain the difference?

1. Our cat is cuter than those in the shelter
In the first sentence, for 'those' to have a clear referent we need a plural noun. Notice that 'cat' is singular. Therefore 'those' could not be referring to 'cat.'
2. Some people believe that the benefits of a healthy diet outweigh those of regular exercise
In the second sentence, 'those' refers to 'benefits,' which is plural.
Hope that helps
