Please explain:

1. Are both "then" and "so" OK here:
- He doesn't like chocolate.
- (Then /so) what should I buy?

2. Are "most of other ...." and "most of the other..." OK?

Thanks

Please explain:

1. Are both "then" and "so" OK here:
- He doesn't like chocolate.
- (Then /so) what should I buy?I prefer so within a sentence as a conjunction: He doesn't like chocolate, so what should I buy?

I prefer then as an adverb modifying buy. It can lead off a sentence, or occur later: He doesn't like chocolate. Then what should I buy? Or, He doesn't like chocolate. What should I buy, then?

2. Are "most of other ...." and "most of the other..." OK?Most of the other... is the better way of phrasing your idea.
