There are several means of mass communication. The newspaper is one, television is ____________
A. other
B. the other
C. another
D. others
Đáp án C
Giải thích: Another + danh từ số ít = một cái, một thứ, … khác. “Television” là danh từ đếm được số ít nên có thể sử dụng “another”.
Một số từ gây nhầm lẫn với “another” cũng không theo sau bởi danh từ không đếm được:
- The other + danh từ số ít = một cái, thứ,… còn lại cuối cùng
- Other + danh từ số nhiều = những cái, những thứ, … khác
- Others = những cái, những thứ, … khác nữa, sử dụng như đại từ giữ chức năng chủ ngữ trong câu, theo sau là động từ
- The others = những cái, những thứ, … còn lại cuối cùng, sử dụng như đại từ giữ chức năng chủ ngữ trong câu, theo sau là động từ
Dịch nghĩa: Có một số phương tiện thông tin đại chúng. Các tờ báo là một, truyền hình là một cái khác.
A. other = những cái, những thứ, … khác
“Television” là danh từ đếm được số ít nên không thể sử dụng “other”.
B. the other = một cái, thứ,… còn lại cuối cùng
“Television” không phải là thứ còn lại cuối cùng nên không thể dùng với “the other”.
D. others = những cái, những thứ, … khác nữa
Vị trí của chỗ trống là tân ngữ chứ không phải chủ ngữ trong câu nên không thể sử dụng “others”.

What we today call American folk art was, indeed, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday “folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics — whether ancient Romans, seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans — have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained increasing numbers of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands. The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England — especially Connecticut and Massachusetts — for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio,
Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the original thirteen. During these years the demand for portraits grew and grew eventually to be satisfied by the camera. In 1839 the daguerreotype was introduced to America, ushering in the age of photography, and within a generation the new invention put an end to the popularity of painted portraits. Once again an original portrait became a luxury, commissioned by the wealthy and executed by the professional.
But in the heyday of portrait painting — from the late eighteenth century until the 1850's — anyone with a modicum of artistic ability could become a limner, as such a portraitist was called. Local craftspeople — sign, coach, and house painters — began to paint portraits as a profitable sideline; sometimes a talented man or woman who began by sketching family members gained a local reputation and was besieged with requests for portraits; artists found it worth their while to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to travel the countryside, often combining house decorating with portrait painting.
According to the passage, where were many of the first American folk art portraits painted?
