Which or which one? Hello. Which (one?) is better?
"There are seven procedures that may be applied in the problem. The question is..."
a. "which one among them is the best."
b. "which among them is the best."
My question is rather general and relates to the which/which one construction, so I don't really care about this particular sentence. Should I then say "Which is better?" or "Which one is better?"?
All the best,
Nyggus

Re: Which or which one? IMO, you can use either. In that sentence, however, "which of them" is better than either of them.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: Which or which one? Thanks, MikeNewYork. And what about "which one if them"? Originally Posted by MikeNewYork IMO, you can use either. In that sentence, however, "which of them" is better than either of them.

Teacher Re: Which or which one? That would also be correct. If there can be only one answer, then it is better than "which of them". Originally Posted by nyggus Thanks, MikeNewYork. And what about "which one if them"?
