艺术价值方面，很难说一个国家的艺术形式比另一个国家的更伟大。
关键语法点：替代词 "that" 的用法
正确答案：that
错误选项：the other
深度解析：
1. 替代词 "that" 的功能
- 替代不可数名词或单数可数名词：当比较对象是 同一类事物的不同个体 时，用 that 替代前文提到的名词以避免重复。

（日本的气候比加拿大的气候温和 → that 替代 climate）

2. 为什么不能用 "the other"？
- 语义不符：
- the other 表示 两者中的另一个，但句子中比较的是 多个国家中的任意一个（未限定总数），且需替代的是 art form（艺术形式），而非国家本身。
- ❌ 错误逻辑：
...greater than the other of another → 暗示“另一个国家的另一个艺术形式”，逻辑混乱。
