Correct Answer: I like my puppies, Mac and Matt, but I like Matt better.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Better is the correct comparative form that should be used in the sentence in place of best, which is superlative. It correctly conveys the intended meaning that Matt is liked more out of the two puppies.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I like my puppies, Mac and Matt, but I like Matt better."
