Question

When should the word other be used in comparisons?

A. with any superlative adjective or adverb
B. with any comparative adjective or adverb
C. when the adjective or adverb is making a comparison that is irregular
D. when the adjective or adverb is comparing a person or thing to a group

Answer 1

D. when the adjective or adverb is comparing a person or thing to a group

Is indeed correct.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer is "D". Comparative adjectives compare one person or thing with another and enable us to say whether the person or thing has more or less of a particular quality. Example: "Ashley is shorter than Sally"
