Hello, teachers.
Let's imagine following situation.
Someone ask me a strange question about a favorite part of something whole. However, by my mind it's not only whole but holistic entity, so the question is quiet meaningless. So, I don't want to offend that person by direct pointing to, that's why I would like to answer more diplomatically but at the same time to drop a hint in a kind and an ironic manner.
For example:
Q: Which parts of a person's body do you like?
A: I like all of the parts, of course.
Is answer proper in context above? Is it correct?... Or I should answer like this: 'Of course I like all parts of the body'.
Which answer is more appropriate to the context?
Thanks a lot in advance.
