Hi Aravind,
According to GMAT grammar “that” should not refer to person but here in the official answer “that” is referring to person. “especially one that has worked well in the past” I think the sentence should be “especially one who has worked well in the past”
Please point out flaw in my understanding.
Thanks,
Nitesh
No. It is not referring to “course of action”, and not to the “executive”.
