Direction: Select the grammatically correct version of the following sentence.

I like my puppies, Mac and Matt, but I like Matt best.

The correct answer is "I like my puppies, Mac and Matt, but I like Matt better."

 Key Points

• In this context, the error lies in the word "best."
• The word "best" is the superlative form of "good," which is used when comparing three or more things.
  • Example: She is the best of all.
• The word "better" is the comparative form of the adjective "good," which is the correct form to use when comparing two things.
  • Example: Karan is better than Arun.
• In this sentence, we are comparing two puppies, so the correct answer is Option 1.
   

Additional Information

• Option 2: "best" is the superlative form of "good," but it is used incorrectly in this context because the sentence only compares two things.
• Option 3: "much" is an adverb that describes the degree or extent of something, but it is not appropriate in this context.
• Option 4: "most" is a superlative form, but it is not used correctly in this context.
