| Jun 15, 2015 at 4:59 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | You seem to have answered your own question here by saying one school is "very good" but the other is "the top". In what way is the second not the best? Of course, since best is a superlative and we are only comparing two, perhaps this is a trick question and neither is best: one is better. | |
