Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I have a very good radio. I don't need ________.

• A. other one
• B. any
• C. some
• D. another

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

another

The sentence indicates that the subject already has a good radio and does not need an additional one. Thus, the answer must means 'additional'.

Option A is incorrect. In 'other one', 'other indicates an additional object but, it is used only if that additional object is different than the first one. Here both the objects are same and so, 'other' cannot be used.

Option B is incorrect. 'any' means 'in whatever quantity available' and not 'additional'. For example, do you have any rice. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.

Option C is incorrect. 'some' means 'unspecified but considerable in number' and not 'additional'. For example, we talked for some time'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.

Option D is correct. 'another' means 'additional' for the same object. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
