    an incorrectly constructed interrogative statement

    Along with that, don't you think "more" should be used in the comparative degree - where "only two" objects are being compared? "most" on the other hand, is used in the superlative degree (with more than two objects in the comparison), isn't it?

    The number of actors doesn't make much of a difference: Two actors: "Boxes A and B contain marbles. but box A has more." "Boxes A and B contain marbles. but box A has the most." Multiple actors: "There are more marbles in box D than in boxes A, B, or C." "Box D has the most marbles out of boxes A, B, C, and D." The phrasing often has to be a bit tighter when there are multiples (i.e. is it more than each one, or more than the total of all?), but the comparative and superlative both can be used with 2+ actors. That'll be 50c for the English lesson, payable within 180 days.

        It's less hassle if you just give me your credit card details.
