another還是the other

請(qǐng)看下面的一道題，是考查one…the other還是考查one…another?

Her lecture was hard to follow because she kept jumping from one subject to _________.

A. other                        B. the other                        C. the others                        D. another

【分析】此題容易死套搭配 one … the other…而誤選B，其實(shí)最佳答案為D。使用one…the other … 時(shí)，我們通常是針對(duì)兩者而言的，即指“兩者中的一個(gè)……，另一個(gè)……”；如果所談?wù)摰那闆r不是針對(duì)兩者而言的，而是針對(duì)多者而言的，那么我們就不宜在 one 后使用 the other，而考慮用 another。又如(答案均選D，即選 another)：

(1) Those cakes are wonderful. Could I have _________ one?

A. other                       B. the other                 C. the others                 D. another

(3) Saying is one thing and doing is _________.

A. other                       B. the other                 C. the others                 D. another

比較以下各例：
