.The boy spent two hours on the work.If he’s given _____ two hours ,he can finish all the work.A.otherB.the otherC.another D.others这题选什么?为什么?千恩万谢~

选C.
首先能排除的就是D,因为others是和some对比使用时,是“有些”的意思而不是“其他”的意思.
the other是指其中的另一个,所以排除B.
C在这里是形容词另一,又一的意思,用在这里还有固定搭配和习惯的因素.
other通常和the other对比搭配,而且用在这里也不通顺,所以排除A.
