" The rapid development of India in the twenty-first century is like England in the eighteenth century."
I understand that there is an illogical comparison . India's development is not like England. However the correct solution includes "that of England" to imply England's development i.e " The rapid development of India in the twenty-first century is like that of England in the eighteenth century."
Doubt: This, that these and those cannot replace nouns, in this case " development "
can someone please clarify..

That has several uses, such as a subordinate conjunction, when it connects a main clause with a sub-clause or as simple pronoun to replace another existing noun {as in this case) or as an adjective when you say -that pen- belongs to me. It is also a restrictive pronoun when it refers to a particular thing in a subordinate clause- (the film that I saw was horrible)
But the use of ‘that’ as demonstrative pronoun nakedly without an accompanying noun is not an acceptable practice in formal writing. This is mostly resorted to in spoken communication, when you have somebody listening to you and you can point out at something physically with your fingers.
Plese visit the link below and you will get to know it better

I also figured out that " That " and " Those " can be used to indicate copies of the antecedent. in other words restricting the meaning.
Thanks.
Thanks.
