- There are twenty-eight students in the class. Ten of them are girls and ___ are boys.

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

Answer 1

选D,
【解析】other表示“别的”，“另外的” 【解析】other表示“别的”，“另外的”，只 能与复数名词连用。但other前有冠词the 即可与单数名词连用。如： I have two pens. One is blue. The other (pen) is black.

the others 是“其余的”意思, 表示在一个范围内的其 他全部,如：This dictionary is better th an the others
