Hi,

Are "more," "most," and "better" all grammatical to fit into the following sentence?

"Which book do you like more/most/better, the green one or the red one?"

Thank you!

"More" or "better" are fine in this case. Use "most" only when dealing with three or more items.

:up: Generally, when a question invites a comparison of two things, use the comparative. (This rule is always applied in a formal context, and quite often - though less regularly - in informal contexts.
