That condo is the better one to stay at out of all the ones on the island.
  1. the best one,
  2. the better won
  3. the bestest one
  4. the better
  5. the best one
Explanation
Answer: E - That condo is the best one to stay at out of all the ones on the island. The original sentence shows the misuse of the adjective “better”. Since all the condos on the island are being compared, the superlative version of the word should be used, instead of the comparative version.
