What's the difference between two other questions and another two questions?The following is a multiple question I came across the other day.

[FONT=&#23435]A. two other [/FONT]
[FONT=&#23435]B. two another[/FONT]
[FONT=&#23435]C. more two [/FONT]
[FONT=&#23435]D. another two[/FONT]
The key opts for D,but I couldn't understand why A isn't appropriate here.So I was wondering whether anyone could help me with that. Thank you.

A. two other B. two anotherC. more two D. another two

A and D are both possible, if you change "have" to "had". Otherwise the whole question is wrong. It's a bad test question.
