I don’t like this wine. I like .
A. some other
B. another
C. other
D. the other
Đáp án A.
Some other = others: những thứ khác
Ví dụ như rót ra một cốc vang, người đó không thích và muốn đổi cốc khác, có thể dùng glass of wine nhưng họ không nói mà chỉ nói some other ngụ ý tới vang trong cốc thôi.
Câu another nghe có vẻ hợp lý nhưng nếu dùng another thì phải nói "I don’t like this kind of wine, I want another”, tức là another kind of wine còn this wine thì không dùng another.
Tạm dịch: Tôi không thích loại rượu này, tôi thích những loại khác.
