Answer 2

1. The correct answer is "c) Either could be used here." Both "others" and "the others" can be used in this context, depending on the intended meaning. If the speaker is referring to a specific group of items that have been mentioned or are known to both parties, "the others" would be appropriate. If the speaker is referring to an unspecified group of items, "others" would be more appropriate.

2. The correct answer is "c) others." The phrase "each other's eyes" indicates a reciprocal action between two or more people, so the plural form "others" is used.

3. The correct answer is "b) another." The phrase "another cup of tea" indicates a request for an additional cup of tea, implying that the speaker has already had one cup.

4. The correct answer is "c) Either could be used here." Both "other" and "another" can be used in this context, depending on the intended meaning. If the speaker is referring to a different person or thing from the one previously mentioned, "other" would be appropriate. If the speaker is referring to an additional person or thing of the same kind, "another" would be more appropriate.

5. The correct answer is "b) others." The context suggests that multiple people were shocked, so the plural form "others" is used.

6. The correct answer is "b) others." The word "many" indicates a plural quantity, so the plural form "others" is used.

7. The correct answer is "b) others." The phrase "the others" refers to a specific group of people who have not been told yet.

8. The correct answer is "c) Either could be used here." Both "another" and "other" can be used in this context. If the speaker wants to emphasize that they won't allow the same thing to happen again, "another" would be appropriate. If the speaker is referring to a different thing in general, "other" would be more appropriate.

9. The correct answer is "c) Either could be used here." Both "another" and "the other" can be used in this context. The phrase "one person's peach is another person's poison" is a proverbial expression meaning that different people have different preferences or tastes.

10. The correct answer is "a) another." The phrase "another day" indicates a different or additional day.

11. The correct answer is "a) other." The phrase "the other book" implies that there are multiple books, and the speaker is referring to a specific one.

12. The correct answer is "other." The word "every" indicates a recurring action, so the singular form "other" is used.
