There is a question as follows:

A. everyone else B. the other C. someone else D. the rest

Which is the answer? A or C?

 

[Anglika]

What would be your preferred answer?

 

[oppo]

I prefer C. But A seems right, too. I am confused: (
Could you please tell me the difference between A and C ? Thanks a lot.

 

[Anglika]

everyone else >> all the other people to whom you can be compared.
someone else >> one other person to whom you can be compared.

Does anyone else think "the rest" works well too?

 

[Anglika]

If overall context set the question in relation to "the rest", then yes, it would work.

It is a very nice [in the broader sense] question!

I'm listening to an audio book on strengths. It's been interesting to realize how individualized a person's strengths are. Not better, but different.
