有一读者问： 有一道选择题：
(1)Among them I like this kind of food_________for it is_________sugar and water.
A. best; mostly B. most; mostly
答案为A，B为何不可选？
答案似乎有点绝对化。like（喜欢）的确常与（the）best连用，如：
(2)I like it (the)best .
但有时亦可与(the)most连用，如：
(3)I liked him the most .（见英国出版的Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary 中的most条）
再如动词enjoy，也是既可与best连用，如：
(4)I enjoyed his first novel best of all .
亦可与most连用，如：
(5)The kids loved the fair, but they enjoyed the bumper cars most of all .
但副词(the)best似乎仍有“最佳”的含义，故常与like, love, enjoy, know等动词连用。而动词如fear, worry, trouble等，由于使人感到不愉快，故而多不与best而多与most连用，如：
(6)What he most feared was being left alone.
(7)This is the thing that worries me most of all .
(8)This troubles me the most .
