What’s the difference between ‘such’ and ‘this’?
I was solving following problem. I had to fill in the blank with a right word.
Q) ... In your e-mail, you stated that the compartment does not close properly. _____ issue was brought up by other customers in the past. Our technicians ...
A) This
B) Their
C) The other
D) Such
I thought the answer was ‘Such’ as the meaning of ‘like’. This is because other customers also had similar problem in the past. However, my text says that the answer is ‘This’. I understand it also makes sense, but I don’t know what the difference is. Could you explain this please?
