Other\another

I have got an unseen and there is a question:
"Besides enabling a person to carry his or her things, what other function can a backpack serve, according to Mr.Nature?

According to what I have been explained about usage of other\another it should have been "another" here (it is one different, not specified function).
What do you think?
Tnanks in advance

Once I asked here a question about the usage of other\another and I was told that other implies about pliral and "another" implies abiut singular. (so are: the other - singular; the others - plural).
Isn't it correct? Can you please interpret a bit? Thanks

Another person is a Slav. (among several people)
The other person is a Slav. (between two people)
Other people are Slavs. (among several groups of people)
The other people are Slavs. (between two sets of people) These are deteminers.

The other is a Slav. (between two people)
The others are Slavs. (between two sets of people) These are pronouns.
