answer explanation: 

<p>During the award ceremony, it was discovered that two of the awardees already know each <strong>other</strong>.</p><p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">The correct answer is&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">(B) other</span><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">&nbsp;</span><br></p>
<div data-answer="b">(A) one another - Incorrect. The phrase "one another" is used to refer to more than two people or things. In this case, we are talking about two specific awardees, so "one another" is not the correct choice.</div>
<div data-answer="b">(B) other - Correct. The phrase "each other" is used to refer to two people or things who know each other. It is the correct choice in this context.</div>
<div data-answer="b">(C) the other - Incorrect. "The other" is used to refer to a specific person or thing out of a group, but in this case, we are talking about two specific awardees who know each other.</div>
<div data-answer="b">(D) ones - Incorrect. "Ones" is a plural pronoun used to refer to people or things in general, but it does not specify that the two awardees know each other.</div>
