Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Linda is thirsty. She wants _______ glass of milk.
a) other
b) some
c) any
d) another

Answer 1

Hint: An adjective is a word that expresses an attribute of something. The adjective is the word class that qualifies nouns.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options given to us fit in the sentence such that the sentence is grammatically correct.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question-
Option (a.), 'other', is defined as ‘not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied’.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as there is nothing previously mentioned or implied to indicate that the same glass of milk is required.
Option (b.), ‘some', is defined as ‘(quantifier) used with either mass nouns or plural count nouns to indicate an unspecified number or quantity.’ Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as there is a specified quantity present, since ‘glass of milk’ is not plural.
Option (c.), ‘any', is defined as ‘one or some or every or all without specification.’ Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as there is a specification present in the question.
Option (d.), ‘another', is defined as ‘One more, in addition to a former number; a second or additional one, similar in likeness or in effect.’ Therefore, option (d.) is correct as it makes sense that ‘she’ would require one more glass of milk due to still being thirsty.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of quantifiers. A quantifier is (grammar) a word that expresses a quantity (as `fifteen' or `many').
