Explanation:

The main idea of the paragraph is that volunteering helps gain skills/work experience and benefits job - seekers (students improving resumes). We need to find a sentence that connects back to this main idea.

• The first option just repeats the start of the main idea without connecting back fully.
• The second option only presents the employer - related statistic from the paragraph.
• The third option only presents the employee - related statistic from the paragraph.
• The fourth option, "Students looking to improve their resumes should consider volunteering", directly connects back to the main idea by addressing the target audience (students) and the action they should take (volunteer) based on the benefits of volunteering (gaining skills, employer/employee statistics).

Answer:

D. Students looking to improve their resumes should consider volunteering
