ほかの vs べつの

私はあまりビールを飲まないから、____飲み物がほしいです。

The accepted answer here is ほかの. Would べつの also be a valid answer? If so, is there any difference in nuance?

Yes!
It perfectly works there :+1:

Okay, well I was marked wrong for using べつの. Can you update it to give a hint asking for another answer instead of marking it wrong?

The alternative answer has been added :grin:

By the way, you can use べつに like ほかに meaning in addition to,
when using ほかに you say この食べ物のほかに飲み物がほしいです。
In addition to this food I want something to drink.
BUT you cannot use のべつに, instead you have to use とべつに so:
この食べ物とべつに飲み物がほしいです。

I saw you set it so べつの is actually accepted. Shouldn’t it just give a “try another way” message since it’s testing for ほかの?
