Preview: Explanations
1."the other"(d)
Two dogs — 'one… the other'. The second of two is definite, so we use 'the other'.
2."other"(b)
'Other' is an adjective before the plural noun 'days'. It means 'different days' in general. We say 'other days', not 'others days'.
3."another"(a)
'Another one' means 'a different one' from an unspecified selection. The speaker wants any harder question, not a specific remaining one.
4."each other"(c)
'Each other' is a reciprocal pronoun meaning 'one helps the other and vice versa'. This is different from 'the other' — it expresses a mutual action between two people.
5."the others"(c)
'The others' = 'the remaining films' from a known set. The speaker has a specific list of films, so the rest are definite.
