Can I say three different situations using one, another and the other? [on hold]
I am trying to say the following:
There are three different answers for three different situations.
Each answer is carefully made for a specific situation.
One is for Situation 1, another is for Situation 2, and the other is for Situation 3.
But not entirely sure whether it is a correct way of doing so.
The main thing I try to express is describing the three situations.
Also, any other suggestions are also welcomed.
Any comments or suggestions will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

I would say the last or the third rather than the other.

I have to run, but you can only use “the other” when you have two things: the one and the other. This is because it is a definite article, whereas another has the indefinite one built right into it and so can be used with many not just two. Please see our sister site for English Language Learners.
