Les unes...les autres

The answer to this question:' Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinen' is 'les unes'. I wrote 'certaines d'entre elles' which was marked wrong. Is it wrong because it's not what is being taught, or is it wrong because 'les autres' always follows ';les unes' and only 'les unes'? I find that hard to imagine.

This question relates to:French lesson "L'un(e) ... l'autre/Les un(e)s ... les autres = One ... the other(s) (French Indefinite Pronouns)"

It's not what is being taught. The bot is looking for les unes..les autres, and also because les unes is more common to precede les autres.

You were right but went out of the teacher's topic
