another,others,the others,the other的使用方法与区别

So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and dont lie to them. Try a friendlier way.If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All ______ kids can stay out late. ” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you’ll be and how important it is for you to stay out late. Then they just might say, “Yes. ”

这个括号内给的答案是D.the other，请问为何不是用 B.others

A.another B.others C.the others D. the other

后面有名词boys,因此只可以用限定词（传统语法叫定语）。others只不过代词，不是限定词，不可以作定语，只能作主语、宾语、表语等，即代替名词。因此只能选D。
