because usage

[youandcorey]

Is the following question correct?

Do you think the summer is better than the winter?

I think the summer is better because it's fun to swim at the beach.
Personally, I feel using the word "the" twice in the question makes it sound rather wordy.

I think there is no problem with the above answer.

Do you agree?

We either use 'the' in all three places, or in none.

'(The) summer?' would have been a more helpful thread title.
