Researchers from a university in Japan have developed “diet-glasses” that play tricks with one’s perception of food, which could be helpful to people on a diet. A camera and a viewing system are built __26__ these glasses. As the wearer brings the food toward their mouth, the camera captures an image of the food. It replays the image back through the glasses after processing it on an attached computer. The size of the food they are about to eat is magnified while __27__ of their hand remains normal. Their brain is __28__ tricked into thinking they are eating more than they really are. The study showed that participants who wore the glasses ate 9.3% less than those who did not wear them. The team has also developed a special device which uses scent bottles and visual trickery to make the wearers of these glasses think that the plain snack they are eating is __29__ than it actually is. The device, for instance, can be set to __30__ one’s favorite flavor. Recent experiments with this device showed that 80% of the participants were fooled by the smell. For example, some participants thought that they were eating a chocolate snack, but in fact they were not.

請觀察子句中的對照結構：前半句的主詞是 $the size of the food$，而後半句則是將「食物的大小」與「手的大小」進行對比。當我們為了避免重複前面出現過的單數名詞 $size$，且該代名詞後方接有介系詞片語 $of their hand$ 作為修飾時，在英文法中慣例會使用哪一個指示代名詞來指代這個單數對象？
